  "account": "Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has once again criticized Kurt Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association. In his first interview since a feud broke out with the FA chief, Awuah expressed his frustration during a segment on Luv Fm. \"Kurt Okraku has always taken criticism as people attacking him,\" Awuah stated. Ahead of the 2022 World Cup, Okraku had lashed out at those questioning his methods, but Awuah maintained that Ghanaian football transcends Okraku's authority. Okraku, who has presided over the GFA since 2019, had previously engaged in a radio showdown with Awuah, accusing the Member of Parliament of being part of a \"cabal\" that had taken control of the association. When questioned about his own expertise, Awuah responded that Manhyia South already boasts three AstroTurf pitches and emphasized the need for a more comprehensive outlook on the sport's predicaments, leading to contrasting reactions from supporters.",
