Fianoo decides interviewing panel for the GFA post he's contesting!

Fresh concerns over Cudjoe Fianoo’s quest to become the general secretary of the

Ghana Football Association (GFA) have emerged as he is been named in the eight-man

shortlist even though he doesn't meet the minimum academic requirements.

Fianoo, who is the CEO of AshGold FC, is a member of the executive committee of GFA

– the body which decides on who becomes the next GFA secretary general.

As the interviewing panel for the post is decided by the executive committee, Fianoo

is playing the referee and player at the same.

Serious conflict of interest issues has already been raised over his quest to run

for the post.

Concerns of favouritism have arisen as he doesn't have the necessary minimum

academic qualifications for the post yet he has been shortlisted to contest.

The GFA set first degree as minimum qualification for the post but under suspicious

circumstances his Diploma of Journalism has managed to get him a place in the

eight-man shortlist.

GFA deputy general secretary Isaac Addo, Kurt Okraku and Cudjoe Fianoo are the

leading candidates for the job even though eight candidates are in the hunt for the

post to be vacated by Kofi Nsiah.

Fianoo wields an unfair advantage over the other contestants if he continues to

occupy his position on the executive committee.

Both Addo and Okraku hold second degree while Fianoo has a diploma from the Ghana

Institute of Journalism

Okraku, who holds an MBA in Football Administration from the prestigious Liverpool

University in the UK, is the favourite for the job.

Addo also hold a masters degree from Hull University in the UK

Fianoo is also tipped by the experts for the job because of his long association of

football administration in Ghana.

His highest academic qualification is a Diploma in Journalism which leaves him

behind Addo and Okraku but his experience in the game will count in his favour.

The current term of Ghana FA scribe Kofi Nsiah comes to an end and his stay will not

be extended.
