GFA Vice President inspects borehole projects in Wa
As part of the visit to the Upper West Region by Vice-President of the Ghana Football Association, Mr. Mark Addo, inspected some borehole projects executed by the Association in the region.
The borehole projects visited by the Vice-President were those located at Tendamba JHS and Wa Senior High School.
These projects were part of a larger initiative aimed at providing sustainable water sources for watering football pitches at venues hosting matches organized by the Association.
Vice-President Mark Addo was accompanied by RFA Coordinator of the Ghana Football Association Mr. Daasebre Adu-Asare and the Upper West RFA Chairman Alhaji Sadugu Yahaya, together with some of his Executive Council members.
During his inspection, Mr. Mark Addo stressed the GFA’s dedication to fixing the fundamentals of our game hence the implementation of the GFA Borehole Project.
The Vice-President was very happy to hear that the boreholes do not only serve as water for irrigation of playing fields but the Tendamba JHS project also serves as a source of potable water for the school.
He highlighted the importance of investing in infrastructure to support the development of the game at the grassroots.
The GFA Vice-President was in the region to attend the Upper West Regional Football Association Congress which took place on September 26, 2024.
Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is in prison and serving her jail term.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr. Muntaka dismissed claims that the former MASLOC boss was being held in a private location.
He said she has been in the custody of the state since she returned to Ghana.
“From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time,” he said.
The minister explained that the public is not usually told the specific prison where inmates, especially high-profile persons, are being held for security reasons.
He said even judges who sentence offenders do not necessarily know the specific prison where they are sent.
“If you want to visit her, you can write to the Prisons Service. They will talk to her, and if she is interested in you coming, she will let you come,” Mr. Muntaka stated.
According to him, disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could put their lives at risk, adding that some developed countries also keep such information confidential for security purposes.
His comments come amid public speculation over the whereabouts of Ms. Tamakloe Attionu following reports that she had returned to Ghana to begin serving her prison sentence.
