Patrick Yaw Boamah laments lack of creativity in Black Stars midfield
Member of Parliament for Okaikoi Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah, has expressed concern over the Black Stars’ performance, pointing out what he believes is a serious lack of creativity in the midfield.
In his view, the national team has struggled to find a consistent playmaker who can complement Thomas Partey and drive the attack forward.
He recalled that the team was close to solving this problem with Kyere of Freiberg, but his injury setback has left a big gap in the squad.
“We were at the point of getting somebody who is a ball juggler and creator to partner Partey ,that was Kyere of Freiberg. Unfortunately, he got injured with an ACL and has been struggling since,” the MP noted.
Mr. Boamah believes Ghanaian teams have always been known for their skillful and inventive players who create scoring opportunities for strikers.
However, that strength seems to be fading due to constant changes in the midfield lineup.
“Today it’s Sulemana and Partey. Tomorrow it’s Partey and Kwesi Sibo. The next day it’s Elisha Owusu and that’s where the problem lies,” he observed.
He also drew attention to the lack of stability in the defense, stressing that the team needs more consistency.
“You go to the fullbacks, Gideon Mensah has been a bit consistent, but on the right, it’s Alidu Seidu today, tomorrow it’s Yirenchi, and the next day Jerome Opoku. We need some consistency,” he remarked.
Mr. Boamah urged the technical team to build a settled squad and system that allows creative players to express themselves, as creativity and flair have always defined Ghana’s football identity.

TO promote Ghana’s cultural heritage, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts has announced that government is encouraging Ghanaians to dedicate every Wednesday to the wearing of Fugu, also known as Batakari or smock, as part of efforts to promote the country’s cultural heritage.
In a correspondence dated February 10, 2026, the ministry explained that the initiative forms part of government’s broader commitment to preserve, promote and celebrate Ghana’s rich cultural identity.
It called on all Ghanaians, as well as friends of Ghana both at home and abroad, to take part by wearing fugu in its various designs and styles, together with its traditional accessories.
According to the ministry, the move is aimed at deepening national cultural awareness and strengthening the country’s sense of identity, while projecting Ghana’s heritage to the international community with pride.
The ministry further noted that the initiative is expected to bring social and economic benefits to the country.
It explained that increased use of fugu would support local weavers, designers, artisans and traders involved in the production and sale of the attire, while also creating more business and employment opportunities across the value chain.
Government believes that the nationwide embrace of fugu will help strengthen national unity, boost the creative economy and serve as a strong symbol of Ghana’s cultural confidence and self expression.
The correspondence was signed by the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, who reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to policies that promote Ghanaian culture and creative industries.
