Dear Honourable,
 |
| Minister of Youth and Sports, Nii Lante Vanderpuye |
I write this letter to
you not because l have been overwhelmed by your work as a Minister of Youth and
Sports, but because in my opinion, you have distinguished yourself from your
predecessors.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports has always been seen as a lions’
den. It was in dire need of a persona like you. I am an ardent sports fan, and
l follow the Black Stars and football in general with a lot of passion. But I
am your number one supporter when it comes to how you have handled matters with
the Ghana Football Association in relation to our national soccer team.
The
Black Stars has sort of become an Aladdin’s cave for a few. It looks as though
football and to a big extent sports in Ghana is synonymous to the Black Stars:
however, this cannot be the situation. In any case, you are the Minister of
Youth and Sports, not the Minister of Black Stars.
There are a million Ghanaian
youths searching for opportunities to advance their potential. The huge amounts
of monies that has been skewed towards the Black Stars has not helped serve the
broader number of young Ghanaians. In today’s Ghana, there are more pressing
issues concerning the youth than the welfare of a selected twenty-three. I am
so happy that you are prone to the insults. Let them keep pointing accusing
fingers at you. The only thing l would like you to remember is that you are not
alone in this fight-people of my kind share in the same thinking as you. It is
time to enhance the potentials of the youths of Ghana for a prosperous nation.
I wonder why the hypocrites who always attack you do not also castigate you in
the eyes of the many challenges facing us in the areas of youth activism, youth
capacity building and others. Clearly, your fighters are those who are only
keen on protecting their purses at the expense of the ordinary Ghanaian.
For
all your efforts to diversify resources and reshape the focus of your ministry,
l say ayeekoo. Honourable, you do all
