Former President John Mahama has committed to finding alternatives to the contentious betting tax as part of his election campaign strategy.
Speaking at the NDC’s Youth Townhall Meeting in Accra, Mahama highlighted his dedication to addressing significant issues impacting Ghanaians.
He reiterated his promise to eliminate both the Electronic Levy (E-Levy) and the betting winnings tax if he is elected.
Mahama criticized the E-Levy for failing to meet its revenue targets and for placing undue financial pressure on citizens. His campaign proposals are part of a broader effort to tackle the country’s urgent economic challenges.
Additionally, Mahama advocated for a more efficient approach to exporting local talent, criticizing the current system that drives professionals abroad due to economic conditions.
