The minister designate for Youth and Sports, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, has vowed to crush the so-called ‘Mafia’ in the ministry which is believed to have sabotaged the work of previous ministers, as he plans a “revolutionary approach to sports development” if approved by parliament to take charge of the hot seat.
A firebrand politician who has openly voiced his disapproval of some developments at the Kwesi Nyantakyii-led Ghana Football Association (GFA), particularly during the reign of former President J.E.A. Mills, when he was a special aide to the late President, Nii Lante told the Parliament’s Appointment Committee during his vetting last Monday that he would ensure that no unseen hand or perceived ‘Mafia’ would be given room to undermine his work.
