The Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Stephen Amoah, has strongly defended his colleague, the former Minister of Finance, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, in response to claims that the former government never implemented the Betting Tax.
Addressing the subject on JoyNews, Amoah stated that Amin, like any human, is bound to make mistakes and had no intention of deliberately misleading the public.
He emphasised that while his colleague, Amin, is not perfect, his error should not be something for which he should be crucified by the general public, adding that it is not in the nature of the former minister to tell lies. "If what my minister said contradicts research put into the public domain, which I have no reason to doubt, we should also take it from the angle that he is a human being and can make a mistake.
People shouldn't take it like he wants to intentionally deceive people.
