Kwaku Yeboah was the Director of Communications for the 13th African Games
Communications Director of the Local Organizing Committee for the 13th Africa Games, Dan Kwaku Yeboah has clarified that he did not sign any financial contract during the games.
President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday, November 4, directed the Auditor-General to conduct a comprehensive forensic audit into the expenditure of the 13th All-Africa Games, held in Accra from March 8 to 23, 2024.
According to the statement, the review will examine tender and contracting processes, funding sources, disbursements, sponsorships, and the overall management of resources allocated for the continental competition.
The president further directed that the audit should evaluate the performance and coordination of all government agencies and committees involved in planning and executing the Games.

Reacting to this, the Peace FM sports journalist explained that he served as the Communications Director for the Games but did not sign any financial contracts.
He indicated that although he was consulted on certain matters, the final contracts were signed by the sports ministry, and he had no knowledge of the specific financial details.
He therefore called on the public to stop making false accusations of theft.
“I am particularly happy because even though I was Director of Communications, I never signed any contract. But when the issue came up about media accreditation costing around $4 million, people accused me of looting funds.
“I would like to plead with Ghanaians, every contract related to media was handled by the ministry. They only discussed the details with us. But if I claim I saw the financial documents and knew whether they were blue or black, I would be telling big lies before God,” he said in Twi in a video shared on X.
Kwaku Yeboah further stated that he fully supports President John Dramani Mahama’s initiative to investigate financial irregularities and bring culprits to justice.
“I would like to thank President Mahama. Anyone who hates accountability is a thief. So if the President Maham wants a forensic audit, I support him with 100 bags of cement… I believe we worked as a group, but everyone had a different role,” he added.
