Ghana could face the wrath of the world’s football
governing body after the government announced a three-member commission
to probe into the activities of the national team
Fifa has written to the Ghana FA over government’s move to
investigate the Black Stars’ poor performance and other off-pitch events
at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The Ghana government has set up a three-member Commission of Inquiry
with the powers of a high court to look into all activities surrounding
the country’s participation at the global showpiece.
The world’s football governing body says the “composition and
competences of the said Commission” set up by the Ghana government “are
unclear” and needs clarification.
“We have learnt from media reports that the Presidency of the
Republic of Ghana has appointed a Committee of Enquiry and Investigation
into the Black Stars’ participation to the 2014 FIFA World cup in
Brazil,” deputy general secretary of Fifa Markus Kattner wrote in a
letter.
“The composition and the competences of the said Commission are
unclear. Provided the reports are true we deem it important to clarify
from the beginning the procedures and to ensure that the GFA can operate
without interference as required by FIFA statutes. Under this
circumstance we kindly ask you to provide us with a report at your
earliest convenience.”
The Commission which was initially set up as a Committee by president
John Dramani Mahama is headed by an Appeal’s Court judge, Justice Senyo
Dzamefe, with sports administrator, Moses Foh Amoaning and Kofi Anokye
Darko as members.
The four-time African champions failed to make it out of the group
stages and had their campaign blighted by several off-field incidents
such as appearance fee row, fighting in camp between players and
officials among others.
