Scrapping betting tax will be suicidal for Ghana’s economy- John Kwakye

MAN WontumiNews,
Dr. John Kwakye, an economist and director of research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), has stated that he believes that gambling ought to be subject to taxes. He claims that it would be financially foolish and suicidal to leave betting untaxed.
