The people of Kwahuman have for years longed for the return of their beloved Okwawu United to Ghana’s top-flight football competition.

With all their rich history and contributions to the development of football in the country, Okwawu United, ‘Asaase aban yenti gyae’, don’t have a place to call home.

Everyone of the Kwahuman heritage with its continuous progression at heart must be deeply saddened at this unfortunate reality.

There came Hon. Bryan Acheampong, a proud son of the Kwahu land, with a dream of his hometown possessing a stadium of a high standard.

The dream, which slowly began to gain ground in reality, was quickly halted as the new administration of the National Sports Authority (NSA) rightly demanded due processes be followed.

Now, Nana Kwame Danquah, the general manager for the traditional club of Kwahuman, Okwawu United, is left frustrated by the club moving away from home to adopt Dansoman Carl Reindorf Park as its home.

“It is sad that a prestigious place like Kwahu doesn’t have a sporting facility which doesn’t meet the club licensing requirements, not even for a Division One game,” said Nana Kwame Danquah on Max FM’s Sports Pack on Thursday.

“Hon. Dr Bryan Acheampong was in the process of developing the Nkawkaw Stadium, expected to have been completed in September.

He had machinery stationed and even imported the necessary items required, including seats, which arrived two weeks ago,” the club general manager added.

The NSA’s involvement is justified in the sense that a contract had been awarded for work to be done on the Nkawkwa facility before the former honourable minister initiated works, hence a request for certain documents.

Hon. Bryan Acheampong allayed fears and concerns of his family later staking ownership claims to the facility belonging to Kwahuman by assuring Nananom, which included Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II, King of Kwahu, that his actions are purely philanthropic.

With the continuous stalling of the project, some may begin to question the motivation behind the NSA’s action, while others would maintain due process must be adhered to to avoid legal repercussions.
