President of the Ghana Football Association Kwesi Nyantakyi has slammed the Deputy General Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, for calling for a probe into the affairs of the GFA.
According to Nyantakyi, he is surprised Anyidoho who led similar calls in 2010, leading to a raid on the GFA offices by the Economic and Organised Crime Office which was eventually ruled unlawful, has not learnt his lessons.
“It was the same calls that were made in 2010 that led to the Economic and Organised Crime Office invading the offices of the GFA. When the matter was put to the test of law, it failed. There was no legal basis for it.
“The people, like Koku Anyidoho are who are calling for an investigation are the same ones who made the call in 2010. And I am surprised that he hasn’t learnt any lessons from that and he is making the same calls at this time.
“Unfortunately there is no basis for it. We leave in a country governed by rules and regulations,” Nyantakyi told Paul Adom Otchere, host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV.
Calls for investigations into the affairs of the GFA have intensified following corruption allegations at football’s world governing body FIFA with seven officials arrested.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter on Tuesday announced his decision to step down despite his re-election for a fifth term.
