Her reaction follows a press conference by former Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, who refuted claims that the NPP government had enforced the 10% withholding tax on betting earnings.

Speaking to the press, Dr. Amin Adam stated, "Betting tax, which they said they have abolished, we never collected betting tax. So, to come and tell Ghanaians that you have abolished something that you have not implemented is to deceive the people of Ghana."

Screenshots of betting tax deductions and transaction records have flooded online platforms, contradicting the former finance minister’s claim.
