Mr. Big Push I hope you are listening? Do the reshuffle now including Ocloo. Please be firm, fire her and don't listen to those emissaries begging for her otherwise your administration is doomed. That obviously was a silly statement she made. By the way Mr. President, where did you pick her from? She's a NOT NOT NOT. Ah?

Paa, you're a smelly ANIMAL . Your incompetent NDC cannot organize a simple Athletics Championships but you're insulting NPP. SHAME unto you! Why bring NPP into this issue? This is sheer ENVY. NPP successfully organized African GAMES comprising all known events. NDC is organizing ONLY Athletics but they cannot do it. But you open your dirty hole which you call your mouth to insult NPP. Incompetence is written all over NDC. TWEAA! APUUTOOR!!

What a shame! Simple athletic meet, and some officials are running around in circles. Truth be told if it is not greed then it is surely incompetence. Madam Commey cannot absolve the authorities of blame. They were caught unprepared,or some thought They could take advantage of the situation. Shame. Even in our days in the seventies, sports competitions in the central region were better organized for secondary schools, which produced world class athletes like George Daniels,Atuahene etc. Shame.

Why do we blame the party in power and not the atheletics federation. If it was a football organizational fiasco, Kurt Okraku would have been roasted by we Ghanaians and the agenda sports journalists.

Why do we keep bidding to host these events with poor facilities and administration? Leave such events to South Africa, Morocco, Egypt and others with better facilities and management.

It’s very embarrassing to say the least. At the time when Ghana is experiencing egg glut and yet you couldn’t give the athletes enough egg to eat. They must fire people at the local organizing committee for poor work. The sport minister must do a good job by monitoring people delegated to work on behalf of the ministry. It will not be surprise to hear that some of them were busy looking for loopholes to steal from the taxpayers which backfired on them. So non of the incompetent LOC officials see the need to text ready all the equipments in the stadium before the event starts? They have embarrassed the government and must pay for their incompetence.

The incompetent dudes thought they could squeeze propaganda juice from it and it has blown up their faces.Who makes an FM radio Station presenter a NSA CEO? The other time his elder brother was in Brazil buying ordinary coconut for several amounts of US dollars, incompetence runs in the blood. it appears the appointing authority learnt nothing.

We don't have an athletics culture. I remember Asafa Powell coming to Ghana being surprised we only have 1 track. Only 1 track in the whole country?!! We are not serious.
