The Member of Parliament, (MP) for Nsawan Adoagyire has appealed to business Community in Ghana to support local sporting activities in Ghana as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility, (CSR).
According to him, when this is done, it will help in developing football talents, believing that, this will restore Ghana’s glory in football.
Frank Annoh Dompreh in statement titled: “Enhancing the discovery of football talents on Ghana”, read on the floor of Parliament, charged the newly elected the Ghana Football Association (GFA), President and his team to run the association ‘more professionally’ which will establish the basis for more support from Corporate Bodies.
Mr. Dompreh used the opportunity to ask the Government to develop aritificial parks also known as Astro turf to support local teams, since, there are so many undeveloped parks in the country, adding that an agenda can be adopted for the central government to pursue One-Constituency-One-Artificial, (1C1A) Football Park.
“The schools cannot be left out…Supporting them to obtain properly constructed parks will promote physical education programs,” he added.
In his conclusion statement, the MP admitted that lack of infrastructure has for many years become an anthem being sung when performance falls short of required standards, even for governmental institutions in a broader sense.
He wants his colleagues MPs and fellow Ghanaians at all levels to support the conscious effort to produce quality artificial football parks in strategic areas across the nation which will in turn promote the quality of football especially being played at district level, up to national level.
The MP used the opportunity to commend some cooperate organizations which are giving back to the community in the form of sporting facilities,…..”McDan Group and Ghana Ports and Habours Authority are building one for the people of La and Tema Newtown respectively”.
