“All Earnings From Bukom Astroturf Comes To Me, Even Mahama Cannot Stop Me From Managing The Astroturf” – Bukom Banku

The Bukom astroturf is presently run by former Ghanaian boxer Brimah Kamako, also known as Bukom Banku. He has publicly instructed the residents to report him to President John Dramani Mahama if they have any problems with it.

Previously overseen by a committee established in 2024, Bukom Banku now has direct jurisdiction over the astroturf.



Bukom Banku clarified in an appearance on Max TV that he was born and raised in Bukom and that no one could make him relinquish his responsibility as the facility’s custodian.

Additionally, he affirmed that all money goes straight to him and that he is in charge of collecting costs from anyone who wishes to use the pitch. With firmness, Bukom Banku said:

I’m from Bukom, and no one can bully me because of the astroturf. I’m the caretaker. If you like, go and tell President John Mahama, the Vice President, or the MP. They pay directly to me because I’m the caretaker.

This issue has nothing to do with the assemblyman. The assemblyman cannot be the caretaker of the astroturf. His job is to clean the gutters and clear refuse to keep the community clean.

I use the money to maintain the turf because it belongs to the community. It is a community park, so someone must be in charge, but not just anybody.
