Accra, March 13, - Mr Isaac Kwame
Asiamah, the Minister of Youth and Sports, has rubbished claims of unscrupulous
activities at the ministry, insisting there is no “mafia” as has been branded
with the outfit.
The ministry has been described
by many as one of the most dangerous ministries, following the frequent
reshuffle of ministers.
In the last decade, the ministry
has seen 11 ministers changed - some under unexplained circumstances.
However, in a meet the press
series on Tuesday in Accra, Mr Asiamah rejected those assertions saying, the
only issue was that the ministry had lacked visionary leaders to provide
direction.
He said, he used his first month
in office to learn about the dangers associated with the ministry but realised
there was none.
“I assumed office on 10th Feb
2107. I used the first one month studying, consulting, interacting,
interviewing staff and stakeholders including the media. I also did a lot of
research on the terrain I have entered. Throughout my period of study and
observation, I tried to discover the so called mafia at the ministry.
“I am happy to report to you
ladies and gentlemen, that I have found no mafia at the ministry of Youth and
Sports.
“Today as we speak, I have not
encountered any mafia. I have a loyal and dedicated team, people who are
committed to the cause of Ghana and have Ghana at heart. All that they need is
a leader who would provide that sense of direction.
“For me we are working as a team.
So there is no cause for alarm as a far as I remain the minster of Youth and
Sports, we will work as team for the development of Youth and Sports.”
