Under the headline; “businessman sue GTA – over 5m cedis debt”, the paper reports that the Ghana Tennis Association (GTA) faces imminent legal action following its failure to settle a 5.4 m debt it owes a businessman, Mr Lawrence Lartey since January 199.
The paper says GTA incurred the debt last year when it hosted the first ITF Future tournament at the Accra Lawn Tennis Club, which Mr Lartey was contracted to supply 15 cartons of tennis ball worth that amount.
According to a letter to the GTA, it had up to last Tuesday to settle the debt with interest rate of 48 per cent, failure of which would attract legal action.
In another story, the paper reports that Mr. Harry Zakkour has taken legal action against the Graphic Corporation, publishers of Graphic Sports, and two others for associating him with a scandalous attempt to transfer Yaw Sakyi to a German club.
The two others are Messrs Joe Aggrey, editor of Graphic Sports and Sam Okaitey, a staff, and author of the story headlined; ” Scandal Rocks Hearts” published in the Tuesday, January 7, 1999 edition of the paper.
