Shatta Wale has criticized the Ghanaian government for imposing a 10% tax on betting and lottery winnings, arguing that it will make it difficult for young people to make a living.
The tax, introduced in the 2023 budget, aims to increase revenue from the growing betting and gaming industry.
Shatta Wale feels the government is ripping off the youth and making it impossible for them to become rich.
He expressed his frustration in a video, questioning the sense in taking 10% of every amount earned from betting.
The government’s decision has sparked debate, with some supporting the tax as a means to increase revenue, while others, like Shatta Wale, see it as a burden on the youth.
