Nana Boateng Gyimah, CEO of Tribe Culture Fest, has strongly rejected claims by Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams that he or his company illegally received US$611,000 linked to 2026 FIFA World Cup travel arrangements and is avoiding a refund.
In a statement, Gyimah insisted that Tribe Culture’s agreements were solely with the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA). He stated that neither he nor the company received the alleged amount from any private individual.
He challenged the Minister to produce concrete evidence — including any agreement, authorization, or verifiable payment records showing who paid the money, who received it, when it was paid, and how the US$611,000 figure was arrived at.
Gyimah described the accusations as unsubstantiated and damaging to his reputation and the integrity of Tribe Culture Fest, calling on Adams to either substantiate the claims or withdraw them and correct the public record, failing which his lawyers would take action.
