Kojo Adu Asare says the Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry that looked into Ghana’s participation of the Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup did a shoddy piece of work.

According to him, if the Commission had done extensive work on his claim that he paid the hotel bills of more than seventy stranded Ghanaian supporters, its final report would have vindicated him.

Mr Adu Asare was faulted by the Commission for failing to provide receipts of the payments he made for the supporters in Fortaleza, Brazil.

Speaking on Asempa FM on Monday, the presidential staffer could not fathom why his decision to offer a helping hand to stranded Ghanaians was met by fierce criticism on the part of the Commission.

“More than seventy of our supporters were stranded at the time and I decided to pay for their hotel bills and later went for a refund from the authorities.

“…And I was faulted by the Commission for helping them out because I could not show them receipts of the transaction, whereas I had gone for a refund. For me, that was a lousy piece of work,” Adu Asare stressed furiously.

In his estimation, if the Commission had executed its work diligently, he would not have been criticized for offering assistance to fellow citizens.

“They were very lousy! They didn’t bother to cross-check from authorities or the hotel and created the impression I had done something untoward. I must I was very hurt by that,” Mr Adu Asare maintained.

The Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry, chaired by Mr Justice Senyo Dzamefe, an Appeal Court Judge, was commissioned by President John Mahama to look into Ghana's participation in the Brazil 2014 World Cup after loads of wrangling at the Black Stars camp led to Ghana’s exit from the early stages of the competition.

Other members of the commission were Lawyer Moses Foh-Amoaning, a legal practitioner and Mr Kofi Anokye Owusu-Darko, a sports enthusiast.

The Commission commenced its work on August 4, 2014 and completed on December 14, 2014.
