Ghana’s Sports Ministry appears to be leaving in self-denial after claiming Kudjoe Fianoo has not withdrawn from government’s 5-member committee tasked to restructure football in the West African country.
Fianoo, who is the chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association pulled the plugs on his involvement in the ‘disjointed’ committee citing lack of consultation amongst others.
The former Ashanti Gold chief told members of GHALCA on Monday that he was not consulted by government prior to the announcement and has withdrawn from the committee.
But shockingly the spokesman of the Sports Ministry, Elvis Adjei-Baah claims they are in the dark over the latest development.
“We are yet to receive a withdrawal letter from Kudjoe Fianoo. We are only hearing it on radio, but we have not been officially informed. Because of that we can’t take what is been said on radio as the official communiqué from Fianoo ,” he told Ohene Bampoe–Brenya on Happy FM‘s Anopa Bosuo Sports.
The Ghana government is under intense pressure to appease locals – in its apparent attempt to dissolve the Ghana Football Association.
