NPP MP Apologises For  ‘We Never Collected The  Betting Tax’ Comments

The Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah rended an apology for miscommunication over claims about the previous government's betting tax, as former Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adams denies it was ever implemented. 

Honourable Patrick Yaw Boamah apologised to the public after former finance minister Mohammed Amin Adams claimed that the previous government did not implement the betting tax.

The NPP MP clarified that the former finance minister's comments were misunderstood due to miscommunication, and the party will address the matter soon.

In an interview with Lawson TV, monitored by Soireenews.com. Honourable Boamah emphasised that the former finance minister had not made a mistake, but the issue was caused by poor communication.

There is an issue, and we will go into it by explaining our position. I don’t speak for him, but I believe there was a communication gap, which I hope he will address in his engagement with the press. I apologise to the youth for the miscommunication.

"We have betting, casinos, football bets, and more. The 10% withholding tax on gaming, often referred to as the betting tax, exists. However, the tax on winnings, which Amin Adams sought to explain, was never implemented," he said.
