A case in reference is the indefinite suspension of Olympic Gold medalist, Martha Bissah, which to him, remains unclear and could go a long way to negate the image of the association

He said; “When I was elected the chairman of the association, I called on past chairmen to discuss and devise measures on how to improve the discipline for continuity but the current leadership has failed to do likewise.

“I just don’t do things my way. I have to take advice. Then when I left and Sandy Osei Agyemang came, the first thing he did was to call and discuss issues concerning the discipline with me.

“This is how it should be but since the Prof. Francis Dodoo administration assumed office, they have never done that and this has culminated in the disastrous results we are facing right now.”

Mr. Lutterodt reiterated his point on how the current leadership ought to share ideas on moving the association forward, ahead of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
