Unconfirmed reports indicate Sports Minister Mahama Ayariga has been removed from office and is set to be reassigned to the Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology, DailySoccerGhana.com sources have revealed.

Reports say the Bawku Central MP’s failure to provide a proper budgetary breakdown for the Black Stars expenditure at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Parliament and his attack on the media lately influence his removal from office.

Sources within the Flag Staff House claim former Local Government and Rural Development Minister, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo is set to take over at the Sports Ministry. Ayariga is on a visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he met his Royal Highness Prince Abdullah Bin Mossad Bin Abdulaziz, the President of Youth of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Mahama Ayariga replaced Elvis Afriyie Ankrah as the Sports Ministry shortly after the Black Stars outing at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which led to the formation of the Justice Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry.
