Hon Alex Agyekum
Chairman of Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Youth and Culture, Alex Agyekum has asked the Ghana Football Association to concentrate on helping the government to fight the deadly disease, rather than asking for financial assistance.
The Ghana FA through its president, Kurt Okraku pleaded with the government to offer support to clubs amid Coronavirus crisis in the country.
But Alex Agyekum in an interview with Peace FM advised the FA not to seek for stimulus packages in this difficult times.
He maintained that, once government assist the football association, it must also assist any other organization and sports bodies that comes around.
He has therefore called on the Ghana FA to seek for loan from the government rather than asking for stimulus packages.
“I have heard FIFA is considering to help member countries and I think we can get some to support the operational cost of the FA and clubs”
“Again, it has been rumoured that the FA want to seek for a loan from the government and if that is true I think that is the best way to go. They should go in for a loan and pay latter when the money from FIFA comes” he emphasized.
