Former Minister of Communication under the Mahama led-administration, Dr. Omane Boamah has called on the Ghana Football Association to have a rethink of their decision to handover rights to Ghana Premier League to Star Times.

The Ghana Football Association this week announced that Star Times have won the bid to telecast matches in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

This announcement was met with a statement from Ghana Broadcasting Corporation which sought to discredit the choice of the Ghana Football Association and create the perception that the GFA was unfair.

Reacting to the news that Star Times had been given the nod to be the official broadcaster of the league, Dr. Omane Boamah mentioned that the GFA should have a rethink of the decision.

His post read, "Sad to learn GBC lost the rights to broadcast the rejuvenated Ghana Premier league to Startimes. The GFA must rethink the decision and ensure a win, win outcome. The state broadcaster deserves our unalloyed support”.
