The Minority in Ghana's Parliament has called for the dismissal and prosecution of Sports Minister Kofi Eddie Adams and GTA CEO over their alleged involvement in the 2026 FIFA World Cup visa scandal. This call follows President John Mahama's suspension of NSA Director General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah over his suspected involvement in a $623,000 visa facilitation fee investigation.
The Minority's Ranking Member of the Sports Committee, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, stated that some officials allegedly facilitated visa processing for non-staff members by writing misleading cover letters. This controversy has raised questions about the processes used to allow individuals to travel to the United States for the World Cup.
The Minority demands an extended investigation into the matter and seeks the removal and prosecution of those found culpable, emphasizing the need for accountability beyond the NSA Director General's suspension.
