President Akufo-Addo Suspends Board Chairperson Of The National Sports Authority
The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on
Thursday, 12th April, 2018, suspended from office, with immediate
effect, the Chairperson of the Board of the National Sports Authority,
Hon. Kwadwo Baah Agyeman.
This decision was communicated to the Board Chair by the Vice
President of the Republic, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on Tuesday, 17th
April, 2018, following the absence from the jurisdiction of the
President, who is attending the 25th Commonwealth Heads of Government
Meeting in London, United Kingdom.
Just as in the cases of the suspension of the Deputy Minister for
Youth and Sports, Pius Enam Hadzide; and the acting Director General of
the National Sports Authority, Hon. Robert Sarfo Mensah, the decision to
suspend Hon. Kwadwo Baah Agyeman has been taken following preliminary
investigations conducted into the circumstances that led to the arrest
of some sixty (60) Ghanaians, who had allegedly attempted to enter
Australia by false pretences, at the 21st Commonwealth Games.
The three officials, together with the President of the Ghana Olympic
Committee, Mr. Ben Nunoo Mensah; and the Chef-de-Maison for the 2018
Commonwealth Games, Mr Mohammed Sahnoon, are to assist the Criminal
Investigations Department of the Police Service in the ongoing
investigations into the matter.
