The Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Hon. Sam George, has brought to light a financial discrepancy involving the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the renowned Dancehall artist Stonebwoy.The NSA had initially claimed that Stonebwoy paid a sum of 70,000 Ghanaian cedis for organizing his BHIM concert at the Accra Sports Stadium during the Christmas Holidays.

However, following a thorough investigation by Hon. Sam George, it was discovered that Stonebwoy had actually paid a significantly higher amount, totaling GHC 169,000, in contrast to the originally stated GHC7000.The revelation raises questions about the accuracy of financial transactions and transparency within the National Sports Authority.During an interview on Adom FM, Sam George said “ my questioning (at the PAC meeting) I had evidence of GH₵70,000 Ghana cities being paid by the Burniton Music Group representatives of Stonebwoy for his Fifth Dimension concert.

"I asked the Director-General (Peter Twumasi) if GH₵70,000 had been paid to the accounts for that event and he confirmed that yes, GH₵70,000.”“I asked him if it was sufficient for the return of the pitch, or any damages to the pitch, but he did not answer. But post the event, I have now gotten the contract that the NSA signed with the Burniton Music Group and I've gotten receipts of payment.

“It was not GH₵70,000. It was GH₵169,000. But it was paid in three instalments - GH₵70,000, GH₵70,000 and GH₵29,000.

"And the Director General is literally before the parliamentary select committee under oath, confirming it was GH₵70,000.”Sam George noted that this among other activities at the NSA has influenced him to support the call for investigations into the authority by the PAC Chairman James Avesdzi Klutse.He stated that the investigations should be done “not just by the auditor general, but even the office of special prosecutor.”

Meanwhile, the manager of Ghanaian artiste Stonebwoy, Chief Abiola, has corroborated Sam George’s claim that the musician paid more than GH₵70,000 to the National Sports Authority.He, however, did not reveal the exact amount paid stating that as the issues unfold he does not want to go into details at the moment.
