$15 million was spent on feeding athletes during African Games

Ranking Member on the Youth, Sports, and Culture Committee of Parliament, Kobena Woyome, has revealed that $15 million was spent on feeding athletes during the 2023 African Games.

In an interview with Joy News, Woyome said a whopping $15 million was also spent on feeding the athletes who participated in the Games.

"You are spending $245 million and out of that, we got to know that a whopping amount of $15 million was used to feed athletes for 18 days," the NDC legislator said.

"You realise that some of these things needed to be investigated. We wanted to know how many athletes actually made it. How many got registered? In fact, we need to get a report from the games management system because the system must be able to tell us. How many actually game and participated in the Games. All these details we would want to know."
