Ghanaian politician and movie actor, John Dumelo, has expressed his anger over the introduction of a 10% tax on betting winnings in the country.
Taking to Twitter, Dumelo criticized the government for not doing enough to create jobs for the youth, and for imposing additional financial burdens on them.
In his tweet, Dumelo said, “Create jobs, you won’t create. The youth have created their own jobs too ahhh, you want to tax their winnings…..continue. That day will come when the youth will rise against you. It will be too late.”

Dumelo’s comments come after the government’s introduction of a 10% tax on all betting, games of chance, and lottery winnings, as well as a 20% tax on the revenue of betting companies operating in the country.
