Vincent Ekow Assafuah Esq., Member of Parliament for Old Tafo and Ranking Member of Parliament’s Select Committee on Youth and Sports, has made a passionate appeal to the government to urgently intervene in the deteriorating state of the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on Akoma FM, the MP revealed that he personally raised concerns about the stadium during a recent meeting with the Minister for Youth and Sports, Hon. Kofi Adams.
“I spoke to the Sports Minister this past weekend during our last meeting. I personally raised the matter with him and encouraged him to act on it as soon as possible,” he disclosed.
“I pity the Sports Minister because the government’s budget presented in Parliament has no allocation for capital expenditure, and even the provision for goods and services is woefully inadequate. In such circumstances, there’s very little Kofi Adams can do. This issue is bigger than the Minister for Sports,” he said.
