A member of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament, Sam George, says that the letter issued by the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) regarding the payment for the coverage of the 13th All African Games has exacerbated the issue. According to him, no attempts by the Ministry of Youth and Sports to justify or explain their actions will change the fact, noting that the contract is clear what was due to the GBC. Speaking on News Night on Tuesday, August 20, Mr George said that the contract explicitly states that GBC is entitled to $3.6 million and makes no mention of any third party.
"In fact, in the obligations of the party, it is clear the fee. It is agreed that GBC will provide services in the amount of $3.6 million. It goes on to break all the conditions down and the scope of work.
"When you read the previous page where the scope of work is in the contract, all the things that we are told third-party's were contracted to do - the contract says GBC will do same.
