Substantive chief executive for Sports Council soon

Mr. Edward Osei-Kweku, Minister of Youth and Sports has hinted that a substantive Chief Executive would, within the next six months, be appointed for the National Sports Council.

Speaking to GNA Sports in an interview on Wdnesday, he said he is not happy with the situation where of a Chief Executive will be in an acting position four years saying this is not proper.

He explained that anybody in an acting position should either be confirmed within six months or asked to leave if he is not able to make his mark.

Mr. Osei- Kweku said his administration would not interfere in the affairs of the council but will only offer advice and guidelines when necessary.

He said however that it is the responsibility of the ministry to know what pertains at the council and would therefore ensure that he is given briefings regularly on the day-to-day administration at the council.

On hooliganism in soccer, Mr. Osei-Kweku said his administration would take measure to ensure discipline among spectators at all stadiums in the country.

He said for discipline to prevail certain structures like inner perimeters must be in place at all stadiums to prevent crowd invasion which results in hooliganism.

Mr. Osei- Kweku stressed that his administration will adopt a strict approach to curbing hooliganism warning that any fan found to have frowned upon the law must be dealt with accordingly.
