WC Probe: Guilty Officials Will Be Punished – Mahama
President John Mahama has said people found guilty
of financial malfeasance by the Commission
investigating Ghana's poor showing at the 2014
FIFA World Cup in Brazil will be punished.

According to the president, government will make
the report of the commission public for Ghanaians
and government to collectively decide who must be
punished.

Speaking to a cross section of Ghanaians in the US
on the sidelines of the 69th UN assembly, Mr
Mahama said no official found guilty after the
probe will be spared.

'I have taken measures to investigate corruption.
When I became president, there were rumours about
judgment debt. I appointed a sole commissioner to
look into the judgment debts. He is doing it
openly and publicly and all Ghanaian are seeing
what is going on there.

'When the events that took place in Brazil
happened, I have set up a commission of inquiry so
that Ghanaians will be a part of the process to
see what happened there. When these commissions
are finished, we will publish the report for all
Ghanaians to see. And we all will take the
decisions. If we have to sanction people, we have
to sanction them' he stated.

The three-man commission led by Justice Dzamefe
was set up by the president to probe into the
invents that led to Ghana's bitter exit from the
mundial in Brazil.
