“When the team came back they had to report to the ministry. That report was to be given to the ministry this Friday.”

“I will not speak to issue but it was a bit pre-mature for the minister to come with this statement” This is because without any financial statement how can you conclude that a financial malfeasance or anything untoward has happened”.

Erasmus Kwaw did go on to state that because of the speculations surrounding how the money was spent at the event, the Secretary General of the Ghana Athletics Association would submit the report on an earlier date.

This would mean the report should be submittted before the close of Thursday, the 14th of Sepetember,2017
