The development of Ghana Sports must be devoid of partisan politics before it can be improved in all disciplines since it needs a collective effort and full participation of all stakeholders to succeed.
This is because sports is a large profession with many disciplines which takes time and a lot of resources for one to identify and develop his talented area in a larger society like ours where sporting youth face high competition to excel.
