"Be Worried Gov"t Rejected Your Recommendations" - Afriyie To Foh Amoaning

The vice president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) George Afriyie has told Moses Foh-Amoaning to be worried the government rejected some of their recommendations to avoid after the Dzamefe Commission investigated the 2014 World Cup fiasco.

Mr. Foh-Amoaning, member of three-man committee set up by President John Dramani Mahama to investigate what led to Ghana’s abysmal display during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, has not lost the opportunity to remind government that the recommendations ought to be implemented.

Afriyie, whom the Commission recommended that he should stay away from all national teams football related issues, has accused the former Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) chairman of putting pressure on the government to act, and has told him to be worried that their work was overlooked.

“The Commission has done its work and I think it ends there;  allow the rest of the law to work, but he taken it too personal to the extent that he wants certain individuals taken on by the government.” the Liberty Professionals chairman told Happy FM.

“His incessant push for government to accepted their recommendations is becoming too much. Is this the only Commission to have  been set by government in this country?

“We’ve had many Commissions in this country including Gbadegbe Commission, Okudzeto Commission, Ghana 50 Commission and recently Gyasi Sarpong Commission, is that how they talk on radio?

“Is he saying that the person you recommended action should be taken against should not defend himself?

“Majority of the recommendations were rejected by government, it is the only Commission government rejected majority of their findings, isn’t he worried about that?” He quizzed.

Takyi Arhin Accuses Moses Foh Amoaning

Controversial and hard-talking football administrator, Takyi Arhin has accused lawyer Moses Foh Amoaning of having ‘personal interest’ in the World Cup commission of inquiries recommendation.

 

The lawyer cum veteran sports journalist, Moses Foh Amoaning has been vocal of the trio that headed the committee that was set-up by President John Mahama after a bonus row interrupted Ghana’s world participation in Brazil and saw the nation mocked on national television after pictures of a private flying in USD3,000,000 to settle player bonuses prior to the final group game against, Portugal.

 

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of division one side, Berlin FC, Takyi Arhin has called on the former Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) president to go quiet as he numerous comment on the recommendations in the report suggest he has ‘personal interest’ in the case.

 

He said, “I am surprised with his (Moses Amoaning) comment; the law binding the committee recommendations states clearly after six-months when the white paper has been issued it becomes a judgement of the high court and all aggrieved parties can appeal within three months then reports stating Kwesi Nyantakyi and George Afriyie to have done such then they have committed no crime.”

 

“Lawyer Foh Amoaning has shown from his action since the committee completed ts work that he has ‘personal interest’ in the case,” he added.

GFA Disciplinary Committee Has Destroyed Local Football - Foh Amoaning

Ace broadcaster and lawyer, Moses Foh Amoaning has accused the adjudicating bodies of the Ghana football association of destroying Ghana local football.

The football association Disciplinary Committee sitting on cases has delayed the start of the new premier season for the second year in succession.

Most of their rulings against certain parties were overturned, and Moses Foh Amoaning believes they are behind the decline of Ghana football because they are not trained to manage.

“Lawyers by our training, we are trained to litigate. Sadly the way we are trained is in the classic British way of advocacy and litigation practice. We don’t train in respect of leadership and management and that’s our problem.

“Lawyers are very bad managers. I know some people won’t agree with me but I am prepared to debate those people. We have badly managed the system.

“By our training we are trained to litigate,  we are not managers, we are into legal battles to settle matters or to be Involved in lawsuit,” the Ghana Boxing Authority boss told Accra-based radio station, Atinka FM.

Moses Foh Amoaning also had words of praise for president of the Ghana Football Association, but has challenged him to learn more and also make rules of the game simple for the adjudicating bodies to interpret.

“Kwesi Nyantakyi has done a good job, but there’s a lot we all need to learn,” He said

“Let’s talk about the rules football now. I think rules for football is a bit complicated, the FA have to simplify the rules in terms of the Disciplinary procedure and set targets for them.

“They should get old judges who have time to handle these matters. It doesn’t matter what sort of training you had as a lawyer, you must have your own integrity and your own self discipline.

“Someone’s case may be different from another and lawyers must can interpret in different ways.” He concluded.

The commencement of the new Ghana Premier league season is February 20 after about two months of delay.
