The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is facing intense backlash after videos of the poor interior condition of buses presented to selected football clubs surfaced on social media.
Former President of Techiman City FC, Charles Ntim, took to Facebook to criticize the GFA, sharing visuals of the deteriorated interior of the bus handed over to New Edubiase United. His post has sparked widespread condemnation online, with many users branding the situation a disgrace and an embarrassment to Ghanaian football.
In several videos circulating yesterday, GFA President Kurt Okraku was seen officially presenting keys to the buses, part of an initiative aimed at motivating clubs and easing their transportation challenges.
