GHALCA chairman hopeful, Nana Oduro Sarfo claim the association under Alhaji Raji received bad press reportage and that basically curtailed the body’s ability to gain sponsorship for its competitions.
Alhaji Raji took over the mantle from Emmanuel Odotei, and under his administration, members of the Executive Council of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) asked their chairman and treasurer to resign or face impeachment for breaching an important administrative procedure which is tantamount to financial impropriety.
There were reports of alleged misappropriation of $9,000 contracted as loan from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and demanded that it should be returned to the GHALCA chest, or the two men be prepared to face the law.
The association also failed to organised some of it’s Top-4 competitions which was inaugurated in 1993 but played it’s first competition in 2001, coupled with alleged stereotypical comments made by the head of the association.
And Nana Oduro Sarfo believes the bad press the association had affected their brand.
“Every institution will like to have publicity and no institution will like to associate itself with a bad press. We do hear on radio how GHALCA’s money has been embezzled, how GHALCA has been fighting among themselves, how GHALCA has been organising competitions, and cannot fixed dates and go by the date,” He told sportscrusader.com
“So if you have such an organization and the organisation comes to you for sponsorship, you’ll not associate yourself with it because you don’t want a bad press to accompany your brand,” He added.
GHALCA will go to congress on Tuesday February 16. The venue for the congress is the Accra sports stadium media centr
