A parliamentary delegation led by the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Andrews Asiamah Amoako, today presented the Democracy Cup to the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, and the Police Administration.
The occasion marks the official invitation to the Police leadership to attend the Democracy Cup match between Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko, scheduled at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday, July 17, 2024.
The Democracy Cup initiative, aimed at promoting parliamentary democracy through sports, holds special significance as Ghana celebrates 30 years of Parliamentary Democracy.
This inaugural competition not only highlights the nation’s democratic achievements but also seeks to instill democratic values and principles among the youth.
In addition to the main event between two of Ghana’s most renowned football clubs, a special curtain raiser match featuring ex-Black Stars players and Members of Parliament is set to precede the main game.
This initiative not only promises an exciting display of sportsmanship but also serves as a platform for fostering unity and camaraderie among participants and spectators alike.
The ceremony was attended by notable dignitaries, including Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, Secretary to the President Nana Bediatuo Asante, Clerk to Parliament Cyril Kwabena Oteng Nsiah, and other esteemed guests from both the Presidency and Parliament. Their presence underscores the importance of sports in promoting national unity and advancing democratic ideals.
