Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram constituency, Sam George says the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and officials of government must guarantee the safety of Prampram residents before they use the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram as an isolation center.
The GFA offered the facility to government as part of its contribution towards the fight against the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
Residents of Prampram, held a demonstration on Sunday to oppose the offer by the GFA to government citing that their views must be considered before the facility is used.
According to the Member of Parliament for the constituency, the facility is not well protected and secured to be used as an isolation center and they demand for proper security arrangements before the place can be used.
Speaking in an interview on Happy FM’s Wamputu Sports, Sam George alleged that GFA officials today met with some chiefs of Ningo Prampram and E.T Mensah without his consent on the issue.
”We agreed to have a meeting between the GFA and Ningo-Prampram Traditional Council to deliberate on the issue today. Later we were told another meeting was ongoing somewhere which had former MP E.T. Mensah and some selected chiefs present. The GFA presented six bottles of schnapps and Ghc 5,000 to them at that meeting for them to agree so they use the facility.
“We want the right thing to be done. As MP, I am interested in the safety of the people in the constituency. The facility does not have any proper security arrangement and what if those who are camped escape to the town” he quizzed.
“If they want to use the place then they should assure us of a proper security arrangement, he added.

NDC why do you keep shooting yourself in the foot? You don't have to oppose everything to show your supporters you are working. Stop, think before you talk. Remember there are floating voters too ooh, at the moment majority of you are not giving me confidence that you are leadership material. This is playing to the gallery. Ah well maybe your constituents like this kind of talk so who am i to talk. You continue opening your mouth anyhow.
If a member of the community unfortunately gets infected where will they send she /he to?
the ndc will always show their evil hand, it is only a matter of time, they simply can't do otherwise
That is the sad aspect of things. Yet if some people in his constituency get infected and are in dire need of medical help the sane MP will want them to be taken somewhere. We are a bunch of ***barred word*** and unreasoning people, we Ghanaians!
AAAba, why do we allow everything to get into our parliament and then talk anyhow. Does this boy understand what the isolation center is meant for? In fact for the education of readers and for someone who can get to him to educate him. In Ghana we have family of 6 (just to say minimum) living in single room using washroom with other members in the same house, now when one gets infected, how do you tell a member of such family to isolate him or herself? This means other members of the family may have to live and sleep outside for the isolation period. WILL THAT BE POSSIBLE? With isolation center in community, people who get infected will just be taken to such place for special care and relieve other members of the family and co tenants from such burden. That is the reason for the isolation centers. In the 60s and 70s during the time of chicken pos infections, houses in community were used for such. As a parliamentarian he should talk with some wisdom. I keep saying I am NDC member but not a block headed one, our politicians should speak with wisdom and devoid of politics in every issue.
