Hopeson Adorye elected to Board of World Taxpayers Association

Ghanaian advocate Hopeson Yaovi Adorye has been chosen to join the Board of Directors of the World Taxpayers Association (WTA). The decision was made on Sunday, October 5, 2026, during the organization's gathering in Kraków, Poland. This addition bolsters the WTA's global representation and grants Adorye a platform to voice Ghanaian and African viewpoints on crucial topics like taxpayer rights, fair taxation, transparency, and efficient management of public funds.

In response to his selection, Adorye conveyed his gratitude to the WTA leadership and members for their trust: "I am deeply honored by this confidence and aware of the duties that accompany it. Taxpayers are the backbone of any economy, and they are entitled to fairness, transparency, accountability, and value for the taxes they contribute.

I eagerly anticipate collaborating with my fellow board members from around the globe to amplify the voice of taxpayers and champion responsible fiscal governance."

According to Adorye, taxation should not only be seen as a way to generate government income, but also as a crucial aspect of the social agreement between citizens and the state. He emphasized that governments must ensure taxes are collected fairly and public resources are managed efficiently to provide quality infrastructure, healthcare, education, security, and other necessary services.

Adorye's appointment also presents an opportunity to integrate African insights into worldwide dialogues on taxation and public spending. Currently serving as Executive Director of Taxpayers League Ghana, Adorye has previously assumed the position of Global Board Chairman at the International Youth Network for UN Security Council Resolution 2250, an organization affiliated with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

In his new role, he plans to emphasize fiscal accountability, taxpayer education, good governance, and greater citizen involvement in public financial management.
