The Ghanaian minority community has demanded the prosecution of Sports Minister Kofi Adams and the Ghanaian Sports Authority (GTA) CEO over a $623,000 visa scandal linked to the World Cup. The group accuses officials of fraudulent activities involving fake cover letters for foreign nationals.
The controversy emerged after reports revealed that the Sports Ministry had issued visas to individuals without proper documentation, allegedly to secure international support for Ghana’s sports programs. The fake cover letters were used to bypass visa restrictions, allowing outsiders to enter the country under false pretenses.
This scandal follows a series of allegations against the Sports Ministry, including mismanagement of funds and corruption. The minority group, which has long criticized the government for discriminatory practices, sees the visa issue as part of a broader pattern of abuse of power. The case has sparked public debate over transparency in sports governance and the need for accountability.
