The Member of Parliament for Atwima Mponua and a member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Hon. Isaac Asiamah has descended heavily on the Minister of Youth and Sports Hon. Nii Lante Vanderpuye, describing him as incompetent and ignorant of his responsibilities, for describing the Ghana Premier League as unattractive insisting he must be fired.
According to the Atwima Mponua MP, the role of the Sports Minister must compliment the efforts of the Ghana Football Association to move the game forward not to make it appear bad.
The Sports Minister in an interview with Asempa FM, a radio station in a Accra said the Ghana Premier League lacks sponsorship because it is not attractive.
Both the Premier League Board and the Ghana FA President have reacted to the Minister's statement describing it as factually incorrect.
And the member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports Hon. Isaac Asiamah says that the statement of the Minister should be enough to see him out of office in any serious country.
"I have listened to the tape and that statement shouldn't have come from the sector minister.
"If we are serious as a country, the President of the country should have fired him right after those comments," he spoke to Silver FM in Kumasi.
"We have various sporting disciplines in the country and the Minister is supposed to promote all. So if he can't lead the promotion, why must he degrade the product?
"If indeed the Ghana Premier League is unattractive as he is saying, what has he done as a sports minister to turn things around for the league to be attractive? That should be his headache and not.
"Merely saying the league is unattractive is a display of total incompetence and ignorance of his role as a Sports Minister," he added.
The Minister of Youth and Sports has made a lot of condemning remarks about the Ghana FA and their products but the Atwima Mponua MP insists he must be fired.
