GFA Legacy Debt: Gov’t Must Appoint Independent Body To Audit GFA – Nana Fitz

Veteran football administrator, Nana Fitz has called on the government to set up an independent body to audit the finance of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The Kurt Okraku’s led administration last week revealed that they inherited Ghc11 million debt.

The details of the debts were contained in a document titled “GFA Legacy Debts” which was presented to club administrators during a recent Executive Council meeting.

According to the FA, a debt of $180,000 owed to former Black Stars coach, Kwasi Appiah as outstanding salaries and bonuses.

But the outspoken administrator argued that government is in charge of paying Black Stars coach so why did the FA captured the said amount in their documents.

He opined that the said FA’s legacy debt is completely fraud.

“The FA legacy debt is completely fraud,” he told Happy FM.

“Why is the Ghana Football Association now telling us that they owe such amount?

“Kurt Okraku was part of the past administration and an Executive Committee member so why is he now telling us this now? Are they hiding something from us?

“I am calling on the government to set up an independent body to audit the accounts of the GFA because government is in charge of paying Black Stars coach so why have the FA captured $180,000 as a debt they must pay to Kwesi Appiah?

“It does not sound right to me. The FA needs to come clean because I don’t believe what they are telling the public,” he added.
