Member of Parliament (MP) for Abetifi, Dr Bryan Acheampong has pledged the commitment of Kwahuman to see to the successful completion of the Nkawkaw Sports Stadium.
The Minister for Food and Agriculture has said even if the government fails to construct the project, the indigenes will do everything within their power to finish it.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Monday, he acknowledged that, there have been setbacks but the Kwahuman has been helpless because it is a contract awarded by government.
“We are willing to construct the stadium and can we complete it within six months but because the contract has been given out under the Middle Belt, we haven’t been able to do much.
“But the agreement now is that it is on our land and the assurance is that even if government doesn’t do it, we[Kwahuman] will build the stadium ourselves,” he said.
However, they now remain resolute to continue from whichever level the government will need for their own interest.
“I have been a chairman of Kwahu United and every time there is a game, there is a renewed spirit so it will be in our interest to do it to promote football. I admit there were gaps and we took our eyes of the ball but now we are committed to do it,” he stated.
The project which is been supervised by the Middle Belt Development Authority (MDA) was estimated to cost GH¢27 million following a sod cutting in September 2020.
The facility was to be an 8,000-seater FIFA standard football stadium, with a multi-purpose court for more than 16 sporting disciplines, a tennis court, a gymnasium, a World Athletics standard tracks, hostels and a restaurant.
However, after four years, it is yet to see the light of day despite several demonstrations from residents to register their displeasure.
