Mustapha Ussif, Minister for Youth and Sports, confirmed that his ministry has paid $3 million to the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) for its coverage of the 2024 All African Games, held in Accra four months ago.
Ussif made this statement in response to a query from Samuel George, Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, during a Public Accounts Committee meeting on August 19, 2024. George had asked about the payment for GBC’s coverage and whether it had been settled.
Ussif confirmed that GBC received the full payment, exceeding $3 million. When George pointed out that some technicians involved in the coverage had yet to be paid, Ussif reiterated that the payment to GBC was complete. The Public Accounts Committee plans to address the issue of unpaid technicians with GBC at their next meeting.
