I’m not the worst Sports Minister in Ghana – Mustapha Ussif

Audio By Carbonatix

The Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, has responded to criticisms labelling him as “the worst Sports Minister” in Ghana’s history.

The Minister rejected the characterisation during a meeting with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Culture, and Tourism, chaired by Kwabena Mensah Woyome.

“I want to disagree with your statement that as a minister, I am the worst in terms of numbers, I don’t know the numbers you are talking about. You should be able to tell me which data you are using to determine that during my time, I am the worst,” he retorted.

Ussif also took the opportunity to defend the government’s $3 million expenditure on Ghana’s participation in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire.

In a presentation to the committee, the Minister outlined how the funds were allocated during the national team’s 11-day stay.

According to Ussif, the budget was used for various essential expenses, including per diems, flights, medical services, logistics, and hospitality.
