Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has disclosed that some personalities cautioned him about the sports ministry’s reputation.
He indicated that concerned individuals informed him that the ministry was allegedly plagued by mafia-like activities and questioned whether he could survive.
The Member of Parliament for Buem constituency stated that he remained resolute despite the concerns and cautions.
Kofi Adams admitted that the warnings frightened him, but he didn’t consider rejecting President John Dramani Mahama‘s appointment.
“Yes, it was frightening. When I was nominated, the news everywhere was that the sports ministry is full of mafias who engage in all sorts of activities. Can you survive? I thought, well, it’s a ministry in Ghana with Ghanaians working there.
“If you’re warned about a place, it means you must be extra careful. Rather than feeling sad, I felt encouraged to face the challenge and deal with it,” he said in an interview with Max TV.
Adams has vowed to investigate financial transactions during Mustapha Ussif’s tenure as sports minister to ensure transparency and accountability prevail.
President Mahama has tasked Kofi Adams with restoring Ghana’s lost glory in sports, emphasizing the need for transparency, professionalism, and modernity in the sector.
