Ghanaian media personality, Bridget Otoo
Ghanaian media personality Bridget Otoo has criticised the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following a press conference by former finance minister Dr. Amin Adam, who denied that their administration implemented the betting tax that the current NDC government intends to abolish.
During the 2025 budget presentation in parliament on March 11, 2025, Minister of Finance, Dr. Casiel Ato Forson, announced that the betting tax, e-levy, and COVID-19 levy would be scrapped.
In response, former finance minister Dr. Amin Adam quickly moved to clarify that their administration did not impose the 10 percent withholding tax on all betting earnings, as stated by the finance minister.
This development has since astonished many Ghanaians, including Bridget Otoo, who has described the leadership of the NPP as liars.
“NPP leadership and members need a course on honesty!” she wrote.
The media personality further asked them to desist from what she described as gaslighting Ghanaians.
“They need to stop the gaslighting,” she added.
Meanwhile, bettors who have been affected by the tax have taken to social media, providing proof that the betting tax was indeed implemented.
