Jerry Ahmed Shaib, the Weija-Gbawe MP, has defended the right of Parliamentarians to critique the state of Ghanaian football. Shaib criticized GFA president Kurt Okraku's response to Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah's concerns about the decline in football standards. Shaib argued that Okraku's reaction was inappropriate and inappropriate for a GFA president.
Shaib also stressed that MPs should be allowed to express their views on football, given its significance to Ghanaians. Shaib pointed to former Black Stars players like Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari, emphasizing the enduring love for the national team. He further criticized Okraku's suggestion that people with concerns about Ghanaian football should contact the GFA directly, rather than publicly.
Shaib maintained that Awuah's proposals should be considered as part of the broader discussion on improving Ghanaian football, rather than dismissed due to his position as an MP.
