Sports and Recreation Minister-Designate, Kofi Adams, has expressed serious concern over the standard of astro turfs built in the country in recent years.
He registered this concern when he appeared before the Parliamentary Vetting Committee after his nomination by Ghana President John Dramani Mahama.
“I have some concerns about the astro turfs. Some of them truly speaking, have not been constructed to standard. In one instance, it resulted in a very serious injury to the head of a player…so we will look at them, the ones that are not standard, in order to avoid some of these injuries, maybe we don’t use them for football but we can use them for other sports and recreational activities.”
