On the day the 2025 budget was read in parliament by the finance minister Ato Forson, some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) spoke to the media in the form of a presser. The former finance minister, Dr Anim Adam, mentioned that his government, when in power, did not implement the betting tax.
“Bet taxes were never collected they were never implemented; abolishing a non-existent tax is deceptive and misleads Ghanaians,” Dr Anim Adam said. The video went viral and garnered various opinions from Ghanaians, especially persons who were involved in the sports activity, including dancehall musician Shatta Wale. Shatta Wale took to his Facebook account to react to the video by calling out Dr Anim Adam saying he was a liar.
“Hey hey shut up there, shut up shut up there. Liar 😂😂Judas,” Shatta Wale wrote on Facebook. Many people thronged to the comment section to lash out at Dr Anim Adam for denying that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government implemented the betting tax
