President of the Ghana Badminton Federation, Evans Yeboah has revealed his players were transported to Borteyman to compete for Ghana in the bucket of a pick-up truck because their regular bus shuttle broke down on the motorway.
News of the Ghana Badminton team being transported on the back of their coach’s pickup truck from Tema to Borteyman in order to ensure they arrived on time for their match got Ghanaians criticizing the Sports Ministry and the Local Organizing Committee of the African Games especially as they had secured over 336 vehicles to serve transportation needs during the games, including transporting athletes to and from games venues.
On that day, the bus that they were using broke down on the express way. So, in the wisdom of the coach, he decided to bus them as an interim measure in his pickup truck to avoid lateness.
Their regular bus schedule resumed, and there was no problem,” Evans Yeboah said.
