Kofi Adams expressed his satisfaction with the President’s decision, stating that it demonstrates his commitment to transparency and accountability in governance. He noted that the audit is necessary to uncover any wrongdoing and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
The African Games, which took place in March 2024, saw Ghana win a total of 19 medals, including 8 gold, 5 silver, and 6 bronze medals. However, the event was marred by controversy surrounding the management of funds and allegations of corruption.
Kofi Adams emphasized that the audit would help to clear any doubts and ensure that the country’s resources are utilized effectively. He also called on the government to ensure that the audit is conducted in a transparent and impartial manner.
“I’m happy that the President [Mahama] did order for the forensic audit because seriously speaking so many things went wrong with the organization [of the Games].”
“Everyday, I keep receiving requests of people threatening to sue for non-payment of this for rendering this service meanwhile there is no money sitting in the accounts as far as all that is concerned” Kofi Adams said and added that
“At the African level…we haven’t paid our commitment. They are also demanding of us because we signed an agreement to pay some $1.65 million to host those Games. We paid only 800 and something [thousand dollars], the rest we haven’t paid.”
