“You Are the Most Incompetent Sports Minister Ever in Ghana” : Hon. Vincent Assafuah To Kofi Adams

According to a post shared on his official Facebook account on October 12, 2026, Kojo Anane Sonkondo has reported comments attributed to Hon. Vincent Assafuah, who has criticised the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Adams, over concerns about the verification of staff lists submitted to the National Sports Authority (NSA).

Hon. Vincent Assafuah expressed strong dissatisfaction with the minister’s handling of the matter, arguing that a competent minister should take the necessary steps to verify information presented to him before making decisions or relying on it for official purposes.

According to the statement contained in the post, the minister is expected to cross-check and double-check lists submitted to him to establish whether the individuals named are genuinely employees of the National Sports Authority or are affiliated with the institution in any recognised capacity.

Assafuah suggested that failure to carry out these checks would raise serious questions about the minister’s ability to perform his responsibilities effectively. He maintained that verifying official records is an important part of responsible leadership, particularly when dealing with the administration of a national institution such as the NSA.

In his criticism, Assafuah did not mince words about his assessment of Kofi Adams’ performance. He described the minister as the most incompetent Sports Minister he had ever seen if the allegations concerning the verification of the submitted lists proved to reflect a failure to carry out the necessary checks.

The comments have brought renewed attention to the importance of accountability and proper administrative procedures within Ghana’s sports sector. The National Sports Authority plays a significant role in the country’s sporting administration, making the accuracy of its staff records and the verification of information submitted to management important issues.

However, the Facebook post alone does not establish whether the minister failed to verify the lists or whether any irregularities were confirmed. Further details would be needed to establish the circumstances surrounding the disputed records and the response of the Sports Minister.

The criticism highlights the growing public interest in how officials discharge their responsibilities and the need for transparency in the management of public institutions.
