Ghana football has collapsed under Kurt Okraku – Manhyia South MP
In his first interview since the war of words with the FA president began, Nana Baffour Awuah told Luv FM that Kurt needs to salvage the situation or the government will intervene.
Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has firmly defended his criticism of Ghana football, claiming the sport has "collapsed under Kurt Okraku's administration." In his first interview since the conflict with FA President Kurt Okraku, Awuah stated that the government will step in if the situation doesn't improve. He emphasized that Ghanaian football needs attention, particularly since the U17, U20, and U23 teams are performing poorly, and the domestic league is also struggling.
Awuah argued that when the source of a river dries up, the river itself ceases to exist. He noted that the quality of Ghana's football is very poor, a fact that is widely acknowledged. According to Awuah, the current administration under Kurt Okraku has led to the collapse of Ghanaian football, and action needs to be taken to rectify the situation.
Kurt Okraku, who has been the president of the Ghana Football Association since 2019, had a heated exchange with Awuah via the radio. Okraku questioned the MP's credibility and asked how many sports facilities he has constructed for his constituents in Manhyia South, located in Ashanti Region. Awuah countered by pointing out that his area already has three AstroTurf pitches and stressed the importance of taking a broader view of the issues facing Ghana's football.
