A video showcasing the poor interior condition of buses presented by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to local football clubs has sparked widespread criticism on social media.
Former President of Techiman City FC, Charles Ntim, shared a Facebook post highlighting the deteriorated state of one of the buses handed over to New Edubiase United. His post, accompanied by visual evidence, has ignited public outrage, with many describing the development as a disgrace to Ghanaian football.
In videos circulating online, GFA President Kurt Okraku was seen presenting the bus keys to various beneficiary clubs as part of an initiative aimed at motivating teams and easing their transportation burdens.
