He revealed that $2.9 million was paid to ATOS, on the Games Management System, not $4.5 million, as earlier stated by Kobena Mensah Woyome Chairman of Parliament’s Select Committee for Youth and Sports.

The African Games was held in Ghana from March 8-23, 2024.

Speaking at a press conference at the Accra Sports Stadium on September, 30, LOC chairman justified the amount of money spent on accreditation tags stating that, accreditation tag is a “subset” which includes TV graphics, Games Results the Commentators Information System, Sports Entry and Qualification, amongst others.

The LOC chairman said “We paid the company [Atos] $2,995,000, which amounted to GH¢35,940,000 and not $4.5m; you can quote me anywhere”.

Dr. Kwaku also remarked that “Hon. Woyome met the LOC on three separate occasions at the instance of the Parliament Select Committee and never sought to procure information from the LOC itself to satisfy the queries pertaining to the issuance of contracts”.
