The attention of the Ghana Swimming Association (GSA) has been drawn to a Facebook post by Sara Asafu-Ajdaye, which seems to denigrate the Ministry of Youth and Sports in the wake of Ghana’s sterling performance at the just ended 15th CANA Swimming Championship in Tunisia.
The Facebook post read: “A shame our Ministry of Youth & Sports didn’t see fit to sponsor Team Ghana, but big shout out to the passionate parents who raced around at the 11th hour soliciting donations from private companies to cover airfares etc, Ayekoo.”
"We would like to unequivocally state that the disparaging post does not represent the views of the GSA and we entreat the general public to regard it as Ms Asafu-Adjaye’s personal opinion, albeit unsupported by facts on the ground," the Ghana Swimming Association's statement read.
"We take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ghana Olympic Committee, the National Sports Authority and the parents of our athletes for their support to help Ghana swimming get to where it is today."
