The release, according to the statement, constitutes the first tranche as the NLA affirms its commitment to clearing all arrears within the next few weeks.
The NLA has seen some positive development under Sammy Awuku since he became Director-General of the Authority.
The consummate politician has, against all odds, succeeded in largely eliminating the political partisan game that had engulfed the Authority prior to his reign.
He has also strategically fortified the ‘good causes’ arm of the Authority, supporting sports and other national activities to positively impact the NLA’s image.
With the release of over GHS5 million for payment of wins in arrears, the NLA’s image can only get enhanced further.
Below is the full statement as released by the Authority:
