I can’t vouch if officials at NSA use their brains

Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram has indicated that he cannot vouch whether managers of the various stadia in Ghana use their brains or not.

He says he is aware that stadiums like the Emirate, among others, are used for non-football events during the off-season, and the grass in these stadiums is always top-notch, no matter what.

However, the same cannot be said about what happens to the various grasses in stadiums in Ghana.

Sam George said what’s even more worrying is the fact that the Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA) has lied to Parliament, claiming they have pitch covers which were clearly not available for usage during the Bhim Concert.

He promises to deal with the NSA Director General the next time he comes to Parliament indicating that it is not the responsibility of Stonebwoy who has paid for the venue to ensure that the grass is kept neat.

To all those talking about the pitch and all after the
@stonebwoy
concert, you actually do not sound very intelligent. Did you expect him to go and do grass rehabilitation? Why did he pay the National Sports Authority?

Concerts are held every off season at Wembley, Emirates, Old Trafford and other stadia. The managers there use their brains. Same cannot be said about the DG of the NSA who lied to Parliament earlier this year.

I asked him about pitch covers which are used to protect the grass everywhere else when stadia are used for non-footballing events, and he stated under oath before the Public Accounts Committee that they have some and use them.

None was used last Friday and shows that once again, the NSA DG has lied under oath. Not his first time. If you have any anger, it should be directed at him for failing to do the work yet collecting his salary for December.

I would be waiting for him the next time he appears before the Public Accounts Committee. We must learn to stop shifting the buck and hold the right people accountable.

Bono and his U2 band don’t care about the Wembley grass after they have paid for the venue and neither should Stone, Shatta or any other Ghanaian act be held responsible for someone else’s failure.

Mano asi. 🦁🇬🇭🔥
