Hearts of Oak board member Alhaji Akanbi claims that STARTIMES, the official broadcaster of the Ghana Premier League, lacks quality cameras to capture crucial moments in matches such as his team’s goal against Kotoko last Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The centre-back jumped to connect Linda Mtange’s cross from a contentious free-kick, propelling Hearts to fourth place on the league table.
