Former Sports Minister Nii Lante Vanderpuye Accused Of Embezzling GHC51m For Renovation Works On New Edubiase Sports Stadium

Board Chairman of National Sports Authority, Kwadwo Baah Agyemang has accused former Youth and Sports Minister, Nii Lante Vanderpuye of corruption, daring him to come out and account for the GHC51m he took "to renovate the New Edubiase Stadium".

According to him, Mr Vanderpuye is a failure and has no authority to say against the performance of the current sports minister.

Responding to questions on Tuesday’s meet the press in Accra, the Youth and Sports Minister, Hon. Isaac Kwame Asiamah revealed he inherited a debt of GHC51m from the previous administration, a claim Nii Lante Vanderpuye has debunked.

But speaking on Oman FM on Thursday, the former Member of Parliament for the people of Asante Akyem constituency dared Nii Lante Vanderpuye who is the Member of Parliament for the people of Odododiodio constituency to come out and tell Ghanaians what he did with the monies he took from the Flag Staff House.

“Nii Lantey has nothing to say against this current administration, knowing very well he failed to do what Hon, Isaac Asiamah is doing,” he said.

“What did he do when he saw the Accra Sports Stadium and the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex needs renovation? He quizzed.

“Am daring him to come out and tell us what he did with the money he took from the Flag Staff House to renovate the New Edubiase Stadium.

“There are documents to show that the GHC51m debt is a fact.

He said the current administration remains focused to achieve what it promised Ghanaians.

He, however, did not tell the exact amount the NDC administration released for the renovation of the stadium, which is still in a bad state.
