Social media users have heavily descended on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following their claims that the previous government neither implemented nor collected the controversial Betting Tax, which has been abolished by the current administration.
Following Minister of Finance, Dr 's 2025 budget presentation, his predecessor, Dr Mohammed Amin Adams, addressed a presser, where he stated that the previous government never implemented the Betting Tax.
He further explained that the government's announcement of abolishing the tax was merely an attempt to mislead the public, questioning how a levy that was allegedly never implemented could be abolished. "The Betting Tax that they claim they have abolished was never collected.
We never implemented the Betting Tax and so to come and tell Ghanaians that you have abolished something that wasn't implemented is to deceive the people of Ghana," he stated.
