Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has established that the Ghana Football Association‘s (GFA) executives are not the root cause of the huge challenges facing the organisation.
He explained that after identifying the real problems, he will collaborate with GFA officials to resolve them.
However, if those involved fail to show commitment, he will take them on.
The Member of Parliament for Buem constituency stated that he will do his best to fix GFA’s problems but cannot dismiss the officials since they have already been elected to office.
“Being antagonistic should be the last thing. You must adapt as a leader. I see problems, but I don’t see human beings as the problems. The first thing I’d do is identify the problem and make it clear that we must solve it.
“But if you become an obstacle to solving the problem, then you become a problem. In that case, we can deal with you as a problem. I don’t see the federation as the issue, especially since I didn’t elect them and can’t change them. They have their constitution and processes for electing leaders,” Kofi Adams stated on Channel One TV.
His comments follow President John Dramani Mahama’s directive to ensure the GFA’s transparency in dealings, particularly in monetary terms.
