A member of Ghana’s 2014 World Cup Commission, Moses Foh-Amoaning has warned of serious consequences for journalists who offer ‘destructive’ criticism against their findings.

The well-respected lawyer is angry with attempts to run down their work after the government issued a white paper on their findings last week.

There have been many commentaries on the report with majority opinion skewing towards criticizing the work of the three-man panel.

Critics have accused the commission of targeting the Ghana FA while leaving out the big fishes in the scandalous episode which rocked the West African country.

On August 4, 2014, government commissioned a three-man Committee chaired by Justice Senyo Dzamefe, following the negative fallout from the Black Stars campaign in the 2014 Brazil World Cup competition.

Established by Constitutional Instrument C.I 82 with CI 65 giving it the guidelines to operate, the Commission had Moses Foh Amoaning, a private Legal Practitioner and Kofi Anokye Owusu Darko, a Football enthusiast as the other members.

The terms of reference included; the preparations of the Black Stars team before the games, management of the team, financing of activities leading to the competition, treatment of the funds generated and to make recommendations based on the findings.

However, opinions have been divided on the report in a widely debated issue in the local media.
