<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Ghanaian government&#8217;s allocation of $15 million to feed athletes for 18 days during the 2023 African Games has ignited significant public and parliamentary scrutiny.</strong></p>



<p>Kobena Woyome, a ranking member of the Youth, Sports, and Culture Committee, has raised concerns about the expenditure, questioning its justification and urging an investigation.</p>



<p>The controversy extends to the financial management of the event’s media coverage, particularly involving the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), which received only 2% of the $3.6 million allocated for broadcast production.</p>

<p>The GBC Director General&#8217;s receipt of $105,000 has further fueled public outcry, with demands for greater transparency and accountability.</p>



<p>Additionally, concerns have been voiced about the exorbitant costs of services such as internet and materials during the games.</p>



<p>The situation has sparked widespread debate online and among political figures, with many calling for GBC to clarify its role and the payments it received in the broadcast deal.</p>
