The chairman of Parliament's Select Committee for Youth, Sports, and Tourism, Kobena Mensah Woyome has alleged that the country spend in excess of $4 million on the Games Management System.
Mr. Woyome who was speaking to JoySports on Ghana's expenditure on the 13th African Games, raised fresh concerns about some of the items captured in the Ministry's report.
‘‘Even the games management system itself…the cost of putting it together and even the standard we all know anytime we go to such events at the continental level, you notice that if you are even a journalist that is going to cover the event.’’ he said.
In view of this, the Member of Parliament for South Tongu has written to ATOS Information Technology, the company responsible for the games management system used for the 13th African Games.
‘‘The accreditation process and the tags given…we did not see any of those but do you know how much we spent? As we are told, it was $4.5million for that. So what actually went into it? So I have even written to ATOS, for answers.’’ he concluded.
The Local Organizing Committee and the Sports Ministry are yet to render a full account of the country's expenditure six months after the Games despite consecutive assurances.
