"There Are No "Mafias" At Sports Ministry" - P.R.O.

Public Relations Officer of Ministry of Youth and Sports, Otoo Plahor has emphasized the need for the media to stop painting the image of ‘mafiarism’ at the Ministry something he said doesn’t utter well for its brand.

Previous Sports Ministers have hallucinated to the fact that there are some elements at the Sports Ministry management structure that do not share the respective vision of the various Minister and always want to have things done their way.

In a interview with sportscrusader.com, Mr Plahor said, “we are all new people here at the Ministry, so there is a need for us to set a new agenda that can lead to a positive branding of the here”.

Mr Plahor also emphasized the role of the media in this new agenda that will help streamline the vision of the current Sports Minister in his endeavors, so that he can achieve his prior priority.

He further stressed on the need for positive branding which will lead to more corporate organizations showing interest in sponsoring various events of the Ministry to augment their budget in developing all sectors.
