Some "Authorites" Are Behind Techiman City"s Demotion

Akyeamehene of the Techiman Traditional Area Nana Owusu Antwi Bosiako II believes Techiman City’s demotion to division two is political motivated as there are some people with ‘power’ that influenced the Ethics committee of the FA ruling on the bribery allegations levelled against the Techiman club by Wa Africa united.

 

 

The Ethics committee of the Ghana football association found Techiman City FC and Wa African United guilty of bribery and match fixing after investigations into their Match day 22 game played at the Damongo Park.

Wa African United further alleged in the said letter that they were given GH¢2,000.00 (Two Thousand Ghana Cedis) by Techiman City FC as well as other payments for feeding to play a match of convenience.

 

Akyeamehene of the Techiman Traditional Area, Nana Antwi Boasiako II, claims he and his people are very disappointed and annoyed at the decision by the ethics committee and promised to fight this matter to the latter as according to him believes is politically motivated.

 

He said, “Since the Ethics committee ruled on the bribery allegation and demoted Techiman City we the dwellers of Techiman have not been happy. As this is the first time we will witness premier league football in Techiman

and with the FA sending over officials to check our facilities gave us hope that our dream will become a reality.”

 

 

New players have been brought in and money has been invested and now the FA claim they have demoted the club is not a reasonable verdict. I believe there are some ‘powerful authorities’ that influenced

the decision and it is this we won’t accept and we the lovers of football and followers of the club will fight tooth-and-nail to reinstate Techiman City, he added.

 

 

Techiman CIty have filed for a stay of execution with the Appeals committee of the FA as the first legal step taken since the ruling on Wednesday.

We"re Ready To Replace Demoted Techiman City - RTU

On Wednesday night the ruling on one of arguably Ghana football’s longest legal tussle involving a bribery allegation was brought to a conclusion by the Ethics committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) headed by vice Chairman, Felix Anyinsan. Techiman City and Wa Africa United were both found guilty of giving and accepting bribe respectively to play a match of convenience.

 

 

The Chief Executive Officer of Wa African United, Nana Gyamerah Kwabena Yiakwan II, informed the GFA that the match between the two sides – Wa African United FC and Techiman City FC in the 2014/15 GN Bank Division One League Week 22 match played at the Damongo Park was a pre-arranged game.

 

Wa African United further alleged that they were given GH¢2,000.00 (Two Thousand Ghana Cedis) by Techiman City FC as well as other payments for agreeing to play a match of convenience.

The President Charles Kwadwo Ntim also known as Micky Charles has vehemently denied the allegations and with the ruling of demotion against his club has threatened to pursue the case to its latter end.

 

Real Tamale united (RTU) team manager, Mohammed Iddi has reiterated the club’s readiness to replace the demoted Techiman based club after finishing second in Zone 3 of the 2014/15 GN Bank division one season.

Speaking in an interview to Kumasi based Boss fm 93.7, Iddi said, “The Ghana Football Association (GFA) alone can confirm with the laws of the game which team – Real Tamale United or Berekum Arsenal replaces demoted Techiman City. For now we will like to keep mute on it and wait for the Football Association come out officially on who plays in the premier league.”

 

“Before player and club registration deadline day, the GFA organised a forum for the clubs and asked clubs to register as their current status reads and will make the necessary decision based on the ruling involving the Techiman city and Wa Africa united bribery case. RTU as a club complied and registered as a division one club but we’re equally prepared for premier league football should the FA rule state we do,” he added.

 

Berekum Arsenal finished third in zone 3 and according to the clubs general secretary, Douglas Effah are the right club to be reinstated due to better head-to-head against RTU.

Simple: Berekum Arsenal Should Be Promoted

An Idiomatic expression reads, “One man’s meat is another man’s poison” and the announcement on the Ethics committees ruling on the bribery allegation involving Techiman city and Wa Africa united during the 2014/15 GN Bank division one season confirms that adage with Berekum Arsenal and Real Tamale United fighting over who replaces the Techiman club in the premier league for the upcoming 2015/16 season.

 

The Ethics committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) yesterday officially brought over months of investigation into the allegations to an end but the verdict has not gone down too well with Techiman City who had been accused by Wa Africa United for offering an amount of Ghc2000 (Two thousand Ghana cedis) as bribe to play a match of convenience in match-week 22 of last seasons DOL.

Douglas Effah, the general secretary of Berekum Arsenal a former premier league side has argued out for his to be awarded automatic promotion instead of Real Tamale United who finished in 2nd place to the demoted Techiman city in Zone 3 of the division one.

 

In an interview with Kumasi based, Boss fm, Effah stated, “The rule states clearly the promotion of the second placed team herein Real Tamale United (RTU) after the demotion of Techiman city (who topped Zone B) the second placed team – RTU should be promoted immediately but in this case the third placed team, Berekum Arsenal had  better results in games involving the two and that is the essence of the head-to-head ruling.

 

“If the head-to-head ruling isn’t effective then what is the importance of it been applied to relegate a team during a season? As we knew this (demotion of Techiman City) we’ve been preparing for the new premier league season and hopefully the FA doesn’t give us limited time of just two days to register our players else… In the spirit of fair play we’ll ask the FA for time to register and finish preparation as we’re not to be blamed for the mess created,” he added.

 

The ethic committee ruling demoted both Techiman city and Wa Africa united to division 3 of Ghana football.

Techiman City "Fight To Buy" The Truth - Takyi Arhin

Controversial Ghanaian football administrator, Takyi Arhin has revealed some hidden moves been implored by Techiman city to hide the truth behind the bribery allegations leveled against the Techiman based side by Nana Dwamerah.

 

Wa Africa united owner and bank-roller, Nana Dwamerah revealed he bribed Techiman city led by Micky Charles to a sum of Ghc2000 to help play a fixed game in the ultimate game of the GN bank division one league for the 2014/15 season. The bribery was to enable Wa Africa united win their game against Techiman city to ensure they stay in division league as they were battling relegation.

 

Owner of Techiman city,Micky Charles has not refute the claims of the allegations but in an interesting statement revealed his side only took the money to return it after beating Wa Africa united and not to play a fixed match.

Former Berekum Arsenal administrator and currently Chief Executive officer of division one club, Berlin FC has since the allegations went before the ethics committee of the Ghana football association – GFA has descended heavily on officials and individuals who claim to be affiliated with Techiman city calling officials of Wa Africa united to help curtail the truth.

 

In an interview with Boss fm, Mr. Arhin said, “some people with influence are working on Techiman city’s behalf to suppress the truth. Some individuals namely Boahene and Fred had called officials of Wa Africa united asking to let sleeping dogs lie; they continued asking what will they achieve should Techiman city be relegated?”

 

He added, “Nana Dwamerah – owner and bank-roller of Wa Africa united has spoken the truth and won’t lie as the customs and traditions of a Chief demands, based on this I advice those who believe they can influence him (Nana) with money and sweet talk to please come again because it won’t help. Football is about rules and regulations and so those laws must and should work.”
