Revenue mobilization for the sports industry could receive a boost following the introduction of a betting programme.
Betting
centres have become more and more popular in recent times and it is
reasonable that they make a contribution to national development.
Deputy
Minister for Youth and Sports, Mahama Ayariga from Ghana tells Joy
Business the Ministry is working hard towards the introduction of this
programme.
“We
are currently working on a betting programme with some partners.
Ideally, operators of betting centres should contribute a percentage of
what they earn to the Government. We are having discussions with the
Gaming Commission and the Finance Ministry regarding that development.
We hope to see this programme implemented soon.”
He was speaking at the launch of a sports lottery and mobile platform by the National Lotteries Authority.
