You know what? the Ministry, as well as the GFA, and most disappointingly, the President of Ghana, especially, the NDC group of companies,i.e. Job for the boys, the much anticipated free rides to and fro Rwanda and Russia respectively.
The NDC Foot-Soldiers, and pro-NDC supporters alike, who in their dreams may envisage the acquisition of "never to return travel visas", (call them the astute, OOPS! destitute/corrupt politicians.
They now foresee this as 'this is our chance to move in'.

To achieve this, they must first disagree to agree with the issue at hand so the public must deem them as angels. "WOnnom mmOO krOnoo da"!!!

Here is the catch:
They have now awoken up from their slumber and would want to compromise with the GFA so they do not lose the forthcoming elections as well as the usual lukewarm attitude and patronage of the GBS matches that is in vogue currently that is likely to continue even if gates are ajar.
The move again, is a ploy to subvert, an attempt to derail the feelings, albeit the perception of the already made up minds of the mass media and that of the thoughts of the well grounded public opinions.aka the 'sikadiebasabsa' anthem associated with the GFA management style.

Otherwise, how could the GFA, with all their 'krakyes3m' thrown about all over the place, arrange for a friendly match under losing contractual tandems?

It is either they have forged the figures by perjury and fictitious tendencies, or are unintelligent, incompetence, unlike what they professes to be.

At this juncture, I ask: Do we have to believe the Minister in the recent exoneration of his nemesis?
And why is Mumu Mahama so quiet?
Beats Me.

GFA says you owe them millions of Ghaa Cedis. Pay up and stop talking about how much GFA got ftom the friendly. After all GFA is independent of you, not an appendage.

exactly. When it suits them they say they are independent and 'no government interference' all the sports federatins have been running this racket for too long. They get funding and then they take the money and then decide to squander it and they come back for more. And this lot just hold a gun to the head of the country by threatening and saying if you don't back us the world is going to come to an end and ghanians will get mad at you! Well if Ghanaians knew what was going on they would not get mad. they would say well done for standing up to them! All the federations do the same thing. it's just that this argument is focused on the GFA as they have the highest profile and get the most money. Put it all out in the light and let the truth be revealed. Tackle all the federations!

So it is now very clear that some unscrupulous media men were paid to denigrate the GFA and its Chairman, Kwesi Nyantakyi, who for the first, second and third time took Ghana to the World Cup. But because some Ghanaians are jealous and envious, they decided to run down the GFA with tons of lies repeated many times to make them credible. Now Nyantakyi, the icon football administrator has dragged these dregs to court. Let us see if the insults and lies will continue. Ghanaians are their own enemies: U didnt get to the WC for decades. Somebody comes and with his management acumen manages to sends you to the WC, and suddenly he becomes your number one enemy. What logic is that? Silly, despicable homo sapiens.

"NYANTAKYI GAVE THE ACCOUNTS ON THE RUSSIAN GAME TO PROOF A POINT TO CRIMINAL MINDED NII LANTE"

How do you know Nyantakyi's act was not a result of Vanderpuye's constant pressure?

When did Nyantakyi ever account to you for anything?
Has he ever told you how much he has collected for any friendlies, from WAFU, from CAF, from FIFA?

Stop the foolishness and applaud the Minister for demanding accountability and getting it.

If ALL public officials told us how much they received and how they spent it, your stupid country would be better off.

FROM THE ABOVE ARTICLE, IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE GFA IS FORTHCOMING WITH INFORMATION, THE SPORTS MINISTRY COMES TO ITS DEFENSE. IT IS ALL ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY. IT IS UNHEARD OF FOR NYANTAKYI AND HIS BOYS TO DISCLOSE THE FIGURES OF A GAME TO THE SPORTS MINISTRY YET RUN TO THE MINISTRY FOR MONEY FOR THESE GAMES. FIFA ITSELF IS TARNISHED WITH SO MUCH CORRUPT PRACTICES, YET SOME GHANAIANS REMOTELY WANT TO THINK NYANTAKYI AND HIS BAND OF BANDITS ARE CLEAN WITH COEFFICIENT PAYMENTS.

So is Asempa being paid to do the damage they are doing against the GFA? I think they should concentrate on doing sports rather than sports politics.

The important thing here that everyone is missing, is that FOR THE FIRST TIME THE GFA WAS COMPELLED TO MAKE AVAILABLE THE CONTRACT. THEY ARE NOT INDEPENDENT OF THE MINISTRY IF THEY KEEP ASKING FOR MONEY AND FOR SUPPORT. Because of all the scrutiny the good Minister is bringing to bear on them, they are now having to be transparent. That is a stepforward in the right direction. Now let's hope the Ministry will do the same with all the other charlatans running sports federations! They all need to be transparent and account for their decisions, selection procedures and the monies they receive. They represent the national flag, not their own egos and bank accounts! And if they don't like it, they should step aside.

agree with you. Hope the Minister keeps this up. In a few months what he's done is what no one else was able to do whichi s to take on the GFA. And he has not backed down despite the attacks. First they started by saying that he was disrupting things and if the Black stars lost it would be HIS fault. he didn't back down. Then they went for other attacks. The fact is that in a matter of 3 or 4 months, the Minister has saved the nation thousands of dollars already! A) by forcing the GFA to plan differently for the Rwanda game which upset the GFA a lot because the Minister said he was not going to pay thousands of dollars for foreign based players to come to Ghana for a game that was not important to the qualifier since Ghana had already qualified. Common sense! And B) that he's made the GFA have to produce contracts and clarity about the sums they are recieving. Though it's proobably cooked up at least it's a step in the right direction. HOPE THE MINISTRY KEEPS GOING AND DOES THE SAME WITH ALL THE FEDERATIONS. THEY ALL NEED TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOOD AND PROPER ACCOUNTABLE MANAGEMENT. AND IF THEY'RE NOT UPTO THE JOB THEY SHOULD STEP ASIDE. THEY CAN'T KEEP MILKING THE SYSTEM, PRODUCING NO RESULTS AND THEN LORD IT OVER EVERYONE AND TREAT EVERYONE LIKE DIRT.
