President John Mahama has assured Ghanaians that his government will ensure full transparency regarding expenditure on national teams and sports-related activities.
Speaking during the 2025 State of the Nation Address (SONA), he emphasized that all budgets submitted by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and other sports bodies would be made publicly accessible.
“There will be no secrecy on how much the government spends on the national teams. The budgets presented by the GFA and other associations must be known by the public. After all, it’s the taxpayers’ funds that are used to fund these activities,” Mahama stated.
Additionally, he reaffirmed his government’s cost-cutting measures, stressing that reductions in government expenditure would apply to all sectors, including the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.
“The reduction in government expenditure applies to all sectors of the economy, including the Ministry of Sports and Recreation,” he added.
This declaration aligns with Mahama’s broader agenda of accountability and fiscal responsibility, ensuring that funds allocated to sports development are efficiently utilized and transparently managed.
