Accra, Feb.06, -The Management of
the National Sports Authority (NSA) has cautioned Mr. Joshua Mensah, the
Ashanti Regional Director of the NSA over pronouncements he made on the usage
of the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kumasi.
The decision was taken at an
emergency management meeting at the head office in which Mr. Mensah, was
summoned to explain to management in the presence of all the other Regional
Directors, as to why he made such unauthorized pronouncements.
A release copied to GNA Sports
noted that “Management agreed that he indeed erred and it was an administrative
slip on his part and hence was cautioned in accordance with the NSA’s
Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)”.
According to the release “Mr
Joshua Mensah was asked to follow administrative procedures, whenever he has
suggestions and proposals to present to the Authority”.
The Authority further urged the
general public to disregard the pronouncements made by the Regional Director
and noted of its commitment to enhancing and developing sports in the country
saying “we would like to reiterate our commitment to the development of sports
which is our core mandate”.
Mr. Joshua Mensah had made
certain comments that the Baba Yara Sports Stadium would be closed to sporting
activities on Saturdays to make way for funerals and other social activities on
Saturdays without any authorization, which prompted the Deputy Minister for
Youth and Sports Mr. Pius Enam Hadzide to summon him to Accra to explain why
“he should not be sanctioned” for making public comments of such serious nature
without authorization
