Hohoe MCE says residents long believed stadium was state-owned over Corruption Watch probe
Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Prosper Kumi, says he is not surprised by findings from Corruption Watch’s investigation into the use of public funds for the construction of astroturf facilities, insisting that residents of Hohoe have long believed the town’s stadium is a state asset.
Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive Prosper Kumi dismissed concerns raised by Corruption Watch over the use of public funds for constructing an astroturf stadium facility in his region. Kumi stated during an interview on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show that residents of Hohoe had long believed the stadium to be a state-owned asset. He attributed this belief to the longstanding perception that the municipal assembly, which is accountable to the public, had committed resources towards the project.
Kumi emphasized that his appointment as MCE did not alter this reality, as he had found a Right to Information (RTI) request from Corruption Watch among the existing records in the assembly's office. This request prompted the assembly to compile a report based on their records, which ultimately formed the basis of their response to Corruption Watch.
