Fentuo Tahiru narrates how 2018 Commonwealth Games visa scandal became an international embarrassment

For Fentuo, the defining issue in the Australian scandal was the damage to Ghana’s reputation when people claiming to represent its media failed to demonstrate basic journalistic skills.

Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Monday, he said the scale of the international embarrassment made the controversy a major scandal.

The episode turned Ghana’s participation in a major sporting event into a controversy over suspected impersonation and visa fraud.
