Former Chairman of Kumasi Asante Kotoko Football Club, Herbert Mensah says past and present governments have shown little interest to help victims of the Accra sports stadium disaster on May 9, 2001.
 
He was emphatic that successive governments were “careless” about the people – hence, his quest to continue to lend a helping hand to all living victims over the years.
 
“If you want to achieve things, sometimes you have to ignore the state. Politicians are only interested in things that are not even important to the people. If they are interested in the people, they will help, but we know they don’t care,” he said on Peace FM’s 'Power Sports'.
 
The Accra Sports Stadium disaster claimed 126 lives after a soccer game between rivals Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko on May 9, 2001.
 
Herbert Mensah has solely over the years commemorated the year with various activities and giveaways to affected victims.
