Kurt Okraku is undermining Ghana football governance – Old Tafo MP

Vincent Ekow Assafuah, the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, has expressed his concerns over the governance of Ghana's football. Speaking on Oyerepa FM, the MP accused the Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, Kurt Okraku, of undermining the sport's fair and transparent administration. Assafuah alleged that significant decisions in football are being made behind closed doors, and accused Okraku of attempting to destroy the game.

Furthermore, Assafuah raised concerns about the pitch conditions in domestic competitions, questioning why matches continue even when the ground becomes unsuitable due to heavy rainfall. The MP's comments come at a time when several stakeholders have been raising questions about Ghana's football governance, transparency, officiating standards, and infrastructure. Assafuah is the latest in a series of public figures to voice their concerns about the game under the current GFA leadership.

Manhyia South MP, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, also criticized Okraku, accusing him of overseeing the decline of Ghana football. However, Okraku dismissed these allegations, stating that he has limited knowledge about football administration. To date, Okraku has not publicly responded to Assafuah's latest allegations.
