The Vice Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Samuel Atta Mills, has strongly criticized the management of the National Sports Authority (NSA), describing it as poorly handled.
This critique was voiced during the PAC session on Monday, February 5, which was attended by NSA Director General, Professor Peter Twumasi, and Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif.
Atta Mills added his voice to the growing chorus of condemnation against the alleged mismanagement within the NSA, stating, “There is a lot of rot over there.”
He specifically pointed out instances of financial missteps, highlighting that Vodafone Ghana owed the NSA GHS 18,900.00 and CCMI owed GHS 2,250.00, which were written off without proper authorization.
The issue of financial irregularities within the NSA has garnered significant attention, with Parliament even issuing a directive for the arrest of the Northern Regional Director of the NSA over the failure to deposit over GH¢160,000 in internally generated funds.
The 2022 Auditor General’s report also raised concerns regarding the Northern Regional Management of the Sports Authority, citing expenditures that contravene the Public Financial Management Regulations, 2019.
