  "account": "Ernest Norgbey, the chairman of Parliament’s Youth and Sports Committee, has commented on allegations surrounding a visa scandal allegedly involving the National Sports Authority (NSA) in connection with the 2026 World Cup. According to Norgbey, these allegations have not been formally referred to the committee. The claims suggest that the NSA may have facilitated visas for World Cup-related travel, with some individuals reportedly paying for assistance with arrangements. Speaking to Asempa FM, Norgbey revealed that the committee had heard rumors about the situation on social media, but none of these allegations had formal standing. He emphasized that the committee could not proceed without verified evidence, stating, “We are yet to get the veracity or otherwise of the whole matter.” Norgbey also admitted to hearing about certain allegations but was unable to substantiate them. The Minority party has called for the dismissal of NSA Director General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah in light of these allegations.",
