Ghana's institute opposes president's plan to abolish betting tax, citing risks to youth.

The Institute of Community Sustainability is opposing Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama's proposal to abolish the betting tax, arguing it could harm youth by encouraging sports betting addiction and financial instability. Despite the Finance Minister's claim that the tax generates minimal revenue, the institute warns of potential social and mental health issues and threatens protests if the tax is removed. They advocate for keeping or increasing the tax to fund mental health services.
