NOV 28, 2018 LISTEN

Mr George Afriyie, a former vice Ghana Football Association has applauded the Ghana FA Normalisation Committee for the impressive work insisting the four-member team has performed creditably.

After Kwesi Nyantakyi was exposed in the 'Number 12' documentary by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, FIFA named Dr Kofi Amoah as the president, former Airtel Ghana CEO, Lucy Quist, Lawyer Dua Adonten (Former Kotoko Board member) and Naa Odofoley Nortey (a Board member of the Attorney General's Department - Legal Aid Scheme) to see the day to day running of the country's football governing body.

The four-member committee has been slammed and criticized by some Ghanaian football administrator who were accomplice of disgraced Kwesi Nyantakyi.

However, the Okyeman Planners financier has sharply disagreed and insisted the committee is performing within its mandate and described as baseless the criticism being meted out.

“To be very honest with you the mandate was very clear. That is to see to the day-to-day running of football in this country. If you ask me on whether they’re doing it, the answer is yes.

"The Women’s AFCON is currently underway and the Maidens participated in the U17 World Cup in Uruguay.

"The CHAN team has also participated in a game. So it means that their mandate to run the football on day to day basis they’re doing it,” he told Kumasi-based Kessben FM.

“On the concerns about the reviews of the statues of the FA, the committee might be working silently on it.

"December will be their third month, meaning they still have three more months. So I would advocate for us to take the pressure off them,” he added.

Afriyie remains a huge favourite to become the next Ghana FA President.
