“Hon. Kofi Adams, I don’t envy your job. You have the monumental task of restoring Ghana to its pride of place in Africa and World sports. The shambles that are Ghana’s sports today are completely unacceptable for a country with our pedigree. And I expect that you inject transparency, professionalism, and modernity into the management of the sector.
