The Minority in Ghana's Parliament has labelled the 13th edition of the African Games as a total embarrassment to Ghana.

The Minority criticised the organisation of the three-week event which was staged in Accra and Cape Coast following an end to the competition over the weekend.

The Local Organising Committee had faced challenges in the initial days of the competition but everything came together for them in the closing stages with many lauding Ghana's effort in pulling it off.

The games saw the completion of the Borteyman Sports Complex and the finishing touches to the University of Ghana Stadium with the Games Village in Legon also being put up.

However, the Ranking Member on the Youth and Sports Committee of Parliament, Kobena Mensah Woyome, believes the games were far from what people have described blaming the Nana Akufo-Addo-Bawumia-led administration for what he feels was a poorly organised event.

"The just-ended games were a monumental disaster and total embarrassment to our dear country. The Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government spent a staggering 240 million dollars on the just-ended games yet, the organization and management of the event were poor and shambolic," he told the press on Tuesday, March 26.

"Quite apart from the fact that it lacked the clear combined effect of economic viability, the organization of the games lacked clear-cut policies for tourism promotion and trade facilitation. This could have given us some economic value for the huge expenditure on the game.

"Given the current state of the Ghanaian economy, which has been rendered bankrupt by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government. Emerging details about the hefty expenditure of the games raised concerns among Ghanaians."

Despite the challenges some Ghanaian athletes faced, Team Ghana racked up 69 medals in the end, the best tally the country has ever amassed at the African Games.
