Fred Acheampong, a member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council, has cautioned the Minister of Youth and Sports, Kofi Adams, to be mindful of his public statements.
He noted that Kofi Adams has been granting numerous interviews to discuss issues in the sports sector without first consulting key stakeholders.
Acheampong emphasized that it would be prudent for Adams to engage with institutions like the GFA and the National Sports Authority (NSA) before commenting on such matters.
In an interview with Kessben FM, Acheampong called on the sports minister to familiarize himself with the sports sector to succeed in his new role.
“Coming from a political background, he feels compelled to be seen taking action, but personally, I think the interviews are excessive. So far, he hasn’t achieved anything as sports minister, yet he’s been doing multiple interviews.
“He [Kofi Adams] should have done a comprehensive interview after visiting various sectors like the NSA, GFA, and others. I think he could tone down, acquaint himself with the happenings, and speak from experience. Then he would understand why there are problems with the Black Stars,” Acheampong said.
Kofi Adams has been actively sharing his vision and addressing challenges in the sports sector through media interviews.
However, some sports personalities have cautioned him to reduce his media engagements and focus more on his duties instead.
