Hearing of bribery case against Techiman City FC to be postponed over GFA blunder




The Ethics Committee of the Ghana FA will be unable to sit on the bribery case against Techiman City FC over silly blunders committed by officers of the secretariat, Sportscrusader.com can confirm.


Techiman City FC have been directed to appear before the newly constituted Ethics Committee on Thursday to defend themselves of allegations of bribery brought against them by Wa Africa United.


But silly blunders made by GFA officials could see the case even thrown out on technical grounds.


For starters, the letter inviting Techiman City to the hearing indicates they are to make an appearance before the Ethics Committee at 10pm on Thursday when official work at the Ghana FA closes at 5pm.


This invitation letter was signed by the Deputy General Secretary of the GFA Isaac Addo and copied to all parties in the case including the Ethics Committee chairman.


Representatives of Techmian City who are already at the premises of the Ghana FA however insists they will make themselves available at the said time of 10pm where they will raise this preliminary objection.


Another technicality which would definitely see at least a postponement of the hearing is the fact that the case was only to be heard after three days of official notice.


This three days, according to representatives of Techiman City has not elapsed and thus gives them another ammunition to kill the case at least until further notice.


Techiman City FC officials also claim they gave three other preliminary objections to the hearing if indeed the case is called at the said 10pm.


These basic errors being made by key officials of the Ghana FA could lead to the termination of the case even without the merits of the case being heard.


This serves as further embarrassment to the GFA which has already suffered similar basic errors throughout this case which has contributed to the delay in the start of the 2015/16 Premier League season.
