Deputy Sports Minister, Pius Enam Hadzide says he has learnt lessons from the Visa Racketeering Scandal that rocked Ghana’s participation in this year’s Commonwealth games in Australia
The Deputy Minister, and other officials from the National Sports Authority and the Ghana Olympic Committee were suspended after people masqueraded themselves as journalists and traveled to Australia which saw their deportation and subsequently bringing shame to the country.
However, the minister have been reinstated after the CID investigations which cleared him and others of any wrongdoing
Speaking to Accra base Starr FM, the minister said it was a humble experience and that he has learnt his lessons;
"I didn’t even have a problem with been asked to step aside because I didn’t want it to be said that I was still in the position to affect or effect the investigations in one way or the other.
“I was confident in one thing that any fair investigation was going to produce one result – my exoneration – because I knew I was innocent.
“We’ve been through it, it’s been humbling and a lot of lessons have also been learned. I mean that is life. Everybody is advising me to just take a back stage so I think it’s important that I listen,” Hadzide propounded.
