Director-General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, has revealed that his office is actively working to recover and review numerous documents related to unfinished and contested sports infrastructure projects across the country.
In an interview with Channel One TV, Ampofo Ankrah highlighted the persistent challenge of delayed construction works, with particular reference to the long-abandoned Ho Sports Stadium.
The NSA’s new leadership, he said, is determined to shift the narrative surrounding Ghana’s inadequate sporting facilities.
“We need to ascertain what works were awarded in the past and to whom,” he explained.
He further noted that several NSA-owned properties lack proper documentation or are currently in dispute, making it essential to establish clear records.
“Some properties under the NSA remain undocumented or under dispute, and we need clarity on that. Once we have the full picture, we can say, ‘This contractor was given this job, this is what was done or not done,’ and take the necessary action.”
Emphasising a deeper, structural reform, he stressed that the focus goes beyond cosmetic fixes.
“It’s bigger and deeper than just the pitch looking terrible. New structures and policies are being put in place so that individuals or companies entrusted with contracts are held accountable.
“We must find out where the money went and ensure future projects are not abandoned halfway,” he added.
