President of the Ghana League Clubs Association GHALCA, Cudjoe Fianoo has revealed that the Ghana Football Association in 2015 contracted ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas to investigate some alleged rot among officials of the association.
This according to Mr. Fianoo, was a suggestion by the then President of the Ghana FA, Kwesi Nyantakyi at one of their meetings to employ the services of the ace investigator as the wrong perception about the FA was gradually gaining grounds.
His revelation follows the latest exposé by Anas, titled “#Number 12; when greed and misconduct becomes the norm”, which was premiered in Accra on the 6th and 7th of June.
The video which captured several Ghanaian FA officials including the FA President and some referees engaging in corrupt activities, has led to the dissolution of the GFA by president Akufo-Addo and a subsequent resignation by FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi.
Speaking to Bernard Avle, the host of Point of view, a current affairs talk show, Mr. Fianoo said ExCo has always known that the country’s local football was played at the mercy of match official and it was therefore necessary for something to be done to clear the association of the perceived rot Ghanaians associate it with.
