The attention of the management of the Multimedia Group Limited has been drawn to several media reports on the June 22 testimonial match organized for coach Cecil Jones Attuquayefio. Multimedia would like to for the records, state clearly the extent of its involvement in the charity event.
a) One of the Multimedia stations, JOY FM was approached by the organizers of the event – Primeval Consult to use its sports platform to promote the event.
b) During the phone-ins, there were persistent demands and so the programme auctioned tickets for the testimonial match at special rates.
c) The live on-air program yielded GHC7, 000.00. Details of this including the buyers were published on myjoyonline.com (http://sports.myjoyonline.com/pages/news/201207/89449.php)
d) An additional cash amount of GHC 500.00 was donated by a friend of JOY Sports, Daniel Amoateng, bringing the total amount realized on JOY FM to GHC 7,500.00.
e) The whole amount was handed over to the organizers Primeval Consult through its project lead officer Larry Opare-Otoo. Mr. Opare-Otoo has acknowledged receipt of this sum.
f) JOY FM had nothing whatsoever to do with the organization of the charity match or the gate proceeds and has no knowledge of what was realized from that. Indeed, JOY FM’s involvement in this event was only to the extent of using its sports platform to promote the event and auction tickets.
g) It later emerged that the organizers presented a cash amount of GHC 3,000.00 to a member of the sports team as “Thank You” for helping to promote the testimonial match.
h) Management of JOYFM asked the team member to refund the GHC 3,000 when this anomaly was brought to the attention of the station. Management handed over the GHC 3,000 to Coach Jones Attuquayefio on October 2, 2012. He has acknowledged receipt of the amount.
i) In keeping with the station’s value of Integrity, sanctions have been applied to the associated staff.
