I have been observing this bloke since he took office,and he reminds me of wimpy Appiah's "trial and error" method of coaching. That is exactly what that man is doing. Fisrt he invited virtually every sports personality in Ghana to come deliberate on our failure in Brazil. He then started jumping from kaneshie sports complex,to lizzy sports complex,and to meeting and shaking hands with bukom. Now he is trying to gather all the "retired footballers", crooks like, Randy Abbey, Jawula, and Nana Butler, to come and have fun.

Pocket too! It is obvious from all the moves has made thus far. These days,some of these 'useless' politicians and technocrats cannot even conceal their motives!

If he did not take those first steps in his familiarization process with his new portfolio, you dogs would have said he has not even taken the first step to do his job.

Rasheed and Annorwuo, you are fools.

If he did not take those first steps in his familiarization process with his new portfolio, you dogs would have said he has not even taken the first step to do his job.

Why don't don't you come up with alternatives as to what he should have been doing since he took office?

Let him do his job.
Judge him when it's over, fools.

This is wasteful and useless. I pray we don't get it because it's going to be the same world cup fiasco. Chop the money and when called to account you cry like babies in public.

These thieves have only one goal: to steal the resources of a very impoverished nation like Ghana and use them for their private enjoyment.

come to think of it ndc will even not be in power so why are they worried about hosting it. see you guys don't get it, they ndc knows they will loose the elections so when they bring this idea of hosting an event in 2017 then Ghanaians will say lets give them another four years to finish what they ve started BUT GOD FORBID IS NEVER HAPPENING in nkrumah's Ghana and don't forget after elections ndc will be broke so it will be another way of getting some of the election money back. Again GOD FORBID AMEN.

Let's stop wasting Ghana's resources and giving a few the chance to steal at the top through a game most people like and get diverted.
Let us focus on building our nation, provide cleaner environments to prevent outbreak of cholera, setting standards for human waste and using tax money to provide underground treated sewage systems!!
All these fascination with football is wasted energies we can do after the fundamentals are achieved!!
