Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng
The founder and leader of Alabaster International Ministries, Prophet Kofi Oduro, has lashed out at the Office of the Special Prosecutor over what he views as the office’s lack of interest in the activities of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Prophet Kofi Oduro is unhappy that the GFA, which he views as the most corrupt institution in the country, has not undergone any probe by the anti-corruption body.
He lamented the Black Stars’ trophy drought, which has spanned over four decades, and questioned the supposed investment in the team.
“Ghana Football Association are the most corrupt people in Ghana, but they have never been investigated. They are wasting resources. They are the team that wins nothing except shame. You have a team that for over forty (40) years has nothing to its name, and we have administrators who cannot resign by themselves, and we have a Special Prosecutor who cannot even arrest a chicken,” he said.
Prophet Kofi Oduro’s outburst comes on the back of pressure from a section of the public on the new Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, to cause the removal of Kurt Okraku, the President of the GFA.
Veteran football administrator, Alhaji Grusah, is one of many Ghanaians demanding a change in the current leadership of the GFA.
Speaking in an interview with Asempa FM, Alhaji Grusah highlighted the challenges facing Ghana football and joined the growing chorus of Ghanaians calling for changes at the top of the GFA.
“We performed woefully in Ivory Coast and still failed to qualify for AFCON, despite being in a group with Niger, Sudan, and Angola,” Grusah lamented.
He further criticized the current administration and urged President Mahama to take bold steps to address the issue.
“The government should sack them and not fear a FIFA ban because FIFA didn’t create Ghana football. If the government truly wants to improve Ghana football, they need to overhaul the Football Association,” he added.
