Sack Akua Densua, She is a Disgrace To Ghana.

I AM MAD LIKE HELL, I'M MAD LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED, I'M MAD LIKE A MAN SCORNED FOR
THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE SPORTS MINISTER, AKUA "red eye monster" DENSUA. How can
this woman bill Ghana for 1,500 supporters when the government sent only 1,000?
The sentiments expressed by these two contributors at the Ghanaweb forum, are a
clear testament of how Ghanaians feel about this team "C" minister.

Comment to:WHO SPONSORED THE SUPPORTERS?

I regret my initial support for this government and I ask for forgiveness from
anyone who through my comments fell in love for this government.
Ras Mubarak came out strongly that the government should tell ghanaians who was
behind the sponsored trip to south africa but many including pro NDC supporters
said he was doing that because he was bitter for losing an election.

Comment to:STUPID AND CORRUPT NDC GOVERNMENT

Sarpong, we are all shock to hear the claim by the Minister that the Government
of Ghana sponsored the fans.
We were all witnesses to the bitter war of words between the Jerry faction of
the NDC and the Mills faction which includes the headquarters. Each was claiming
credit for sending their supporters to the games. We all heard the many claims
and counter-claims by these nut-heads.
I hope the Ghanaian media will start asking the hard questions.

Akua Densuah has no inkling of what went on in South Africa if her statements on
friday July 30th 2010 is juxtaposed to what the President and the Vice-President
said about the behaviour of the Ghanaian supporters in South Africa is anything
to go by. This is what the first two gentlemen of Ghana have to say about the
conduct of our supporters in South Africa:

"President John Evans Atta Mills is fuming with rage over the deplorable state
of Ghana fans who are in South Africa to support the Black Stars at the ongoing
2010 FIFA World Cup.

He questioned the efficiency of the committee tasked to cater for the 1,600 or
more fans sponsored by government and some individuals, which had brought undue
hardships on the fans, notable among which is subtended food and
non-availability of tickets to watch Ghana matches."


"Vice President John Dramani Mahama returned with the first batch of supporters,
numbering over 450, on Friday June 24.

The Vice President, on his return expressed his displeasure at the conduct of
some Ghanaian soccer fans at the FIFA World Cup Tournament and called on
Ghanaians to comport themselves outside the borders of the country, in order to
reflect the good image of their Mother Land."

The incompetence of Akua Densua and her NDC cohorts who thought they could use
the bait of our taxpayers funds to send NDC supporters MASQUERADING as soccer
fans came unglued when the supporters after reaching South Africa were made to
fend for themselves and have to resort to prostitution and robbing which
were not beamed back home.


"Several state sponsored Ghanaian soccer fans in South Africa are refusing to
return home on the directives of Ghanaian football officials there.

Officials insist the fans must return immediately due to lack of funds. The fans
will have to fend for themselves if they stay any longer since state sponsorship
has been stretched thin.
Reports say some of the Ghanaian women soccer fans have had to resort to
prostitution to fend for themselves."

The fans are accusing the Ghanaian authorities of reneging on its promise to
give them a daily per diem of $100 and are thus calling on the officials to come
to their aid to help alleviate their plight."

If this is the behaviour put up by our fans and two incidencies where Ghanaian
men were accused of raping a Canadian woman and another Ghanain woman, how can
Akua Densua then tell us that sending these supporters to South Africa enhanced
the image of our country? This is what Akua Densuah, the so called Sports
Minister said on Friday July 30th and readers can compare that to what the
President and his Vice said about the behaviour of the same fans who were forced
to resort to immoral behaviour to care for themselves;

"Touching on the decision to send supporters to South Africa for the World Cup,
Sena Dansua defended the decision of the government adding that "it was not a
waste of resources".

The minister added that, supporters who went to the event also had the
opportunity of studying the positive aspect of the South Africa culture which
will have an impact on Ghana in the near future."

What positive aspect did these fans have a chance of studying when they were
busy whoring and robbing to take care of their daily needs?No wonder those
Journalists who were in South Africa are calling on Mills to relieve you of your
duties as the Minister of Sports, you failed Ghanaians 'BIG TIME.

"AAAAH!!!, HABA AKUA, GHANAFUO ATO ABA BONEE PAA"
