Further embarrassment awaits Ghana if... - GFA
The Ghana Football Association has warned the
country could face further embarrassment if the
government's Commission of Enquiry (CoE) goes
ahead with its work.

President John Mahama recently instituted the CoE
using a Constitutional Instrument 82 as against an
initial Ministerial Committee established to
investigate the case.

Government, during the just ended 2014 World Cup
in Brazil airlifted $3 million to settle the
appearance fees of aggrieved Black Stars players.
The adventure attracted international ridicule
among others.

GFA Spokesperson Ibrahim Sanni Daara told Joy News
'When the Committee was set up, it had our full
blessings; we were ready to offer ourselves to
help the committee in its work.

Anybody called from the Ghana Football Association
will appear. However, if it has been transformed
into a Commission, it is up to us to decide if it
falls under FIFA's purview.'

He said the GFA did not oppose to any
investigation but rather insisted that everything
should be done within the statutes of FIFA.

Moreover, he indicated that any more publications
about the matter in the media could lead to more
embarrassment.

According to him, the World football governing
body, FIFA, is actively monitoring events in the
country.

The CoE intends to probe the Black Stars'
preparation to the mundial in Brazil and their
poor show, which led to an early exit.

Also, it is in its power to enquire into matters
relating to technical and management of the team
by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) officials
as well as issues regarding how supporters were
carted to the tournament by the Ministry of Youth
and Sports.

Establishment of the Commission has been greeted
with several oppositions by lawyers and the
opposition in Ghana's legislature.
