Dan Kwaku Yeboah and Kofi Adams
Ace sports journalist Dan Kwaku Yeboah has cautioned Minister of Sports and Recreation Kofi Adams against his removing the betting tax.
According to him, revenue from the betting tax could be invested in sports development projects, improving the dwindling standards of Ghanaian sports.
The Peace FM journalist emphasized that President John Dramani Mahama should maintain the betting tax to create more job opportunities for the youth through investments in sports.
Kwaku Yeboah urged the sporting fraternity and the general public to support Kofi Adams as sports minister and retain the betting tax.
“We should put politics aside and support Kofi Adams. Instead of cancelling the betting tax, the revenue should be channelled into sports development. Our sports will thrive with financial investment, creating jobs for the youth,” he said in Twi on Peace FM.
Meanwhile, Minister of Finance Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has assured the public that scrapping the betting tax would be one of his first acts in office.
