Representatives of persons who died in the May 9, 2001, Accra Sports Stadium disaster who collected government cash donations for the burial of the victims are invited to collect ex-gratia payments due to the affected families.
A statement signed by Mr. Kofi Sekyiamah, Chief Director, Ministry of Information and Presidential Affairs, on Thursday said the representatives must report to the Ministry with two passport-size photographs.
It said payments would be made to the accredited family representatives who were appointed to act on behalf of the bereaved families. The statement said the modalities of scholarships for children of the deceased victims as well as extra-gratia awards for those who suffered injuries and other disabilities would soon be announced.
