Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has called for substantial reforms to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Constitution, arguing that the government needs to play a more active role in resolving issues within Ghanaian football. He accused some individuals within Ghanaian football of turning the sport into a private business, urging President John Mahama to intervene.
The MP claimed the GFA had been "hijacked" by a "cabal" and questioned Ghana's reliance on Fifa regulations, suggesting the government should consider changes to the GFA's structure and governance. GFA President Kurt Okraku strongly rejected Awuah's comments and questioned his authority to demand reforms during an interview with Asempa FM.
Okraku accused Awuah of having no locus to demand changes to the GFA Constitution and questioned his ability to construct football pitches in his constituency. The controversy arises amidst ongoing debates over the governance and financing of Ghanaian football.
