Mr. Minister, announcing new solutions without confronting past failures or holding responsible parties accountable will not resolve the underlying problems. Without a clear and credible reckoning, reform risks becoming another temporary response—one that leaves the same weaknesses intact and allows the cycle to continue.

That reckoning must begin with the GFA’s governance structure. Association leaders should not simultaneously hold direct interests in clubs, because doing so creates an obvious and unacceptable risk of conflicts of interest—particularly in connection with allegations involving club interests and the selection of Black Stars players. Whether or not every allegation is substantiated, the system must be designed to prevent both undue influence and the appearan

Accountability must also extend beyond coaches, who cannot continue to bear primary responsibility while those who shape the broader system remain beyond scrutiny. Nor should it end with the current administration. If past failures are to be prevented from recurring, meaningful and lasting change must begin at the top through leadership reform, followed by a comprehensive restructuring of the GFA’s governance framework. These are not optional measures or cosmetic adjustments; they are essential conditions for restoring public confidence and protecting the integrity of Ghanaian football. Without them, calls for improvement will remain rhetorical, and the underlying crisis will persist.

The ineptitude of our FA is slowly eroding the great gains of our hard working government. The embarrassment is too much. We are wasting taxpayers money to pay a foreign coach every local Ghanaian coach can do better than what he is doing. The best way out is that the government should step in, dissolve the GFA( FIFA may sanction us but that is alright). The government should then appoint ex-footballers with administrative/management acumen to supervise the rebuilding of Ghana soccer with active restructuring of Colts soccer in all cities in the country. Then develop under 17, 20, and 23 soccer. We then need equity audit team to access performance for recommendations. Let's give ourselves 3 to 5 years and we will be fine again. This will even create stronger confidence in government to win the next elections. The current FA should also be thoroughly audited and be prosecuted if found guilty to serve as a check to others. God bless our Homeland Ghana and raise visionary and exceptional leaders.

Restructuring of the local league and the dissolution of the referee's appointment committee as well as the managements of the local leagues would be better for us to have a very fortified Black Stars team. The corruption in the local league is too alarming. Team owners are spending huge sums of monies to build their teams but the mafias in the running of the various leagues, don't allow the well-deserved teams to win their matches, culminating to the downfall of our teams in continental football. This must stop, other than that, our football will never get to where it is supposed to be.

Bullshit crooks. You think you can continue fooling Ghana ppl? You will play in empty stadiums at home if you don't do the right thing. Stop all national soccer events asap. Audit okraku n gfa and the 8 coaches per year he brings in. Secondly, club owners should NEVER be involved in managing any national teams where they can transfer their club players into the various national teams. No more! Fix these until the next gfa elections you okraku won't be permitted to run. After that, then you can resume

Just because Ghana is playing does not mean we win. Gone are the days when teams from gambia and some other small football countties were terrified of playing Ghana. Now it is which country has the MEN and WOMEN playing at a HIGH LEVEL.

You can change the coach, you can change the minister, you can change the jersey, you can change the boots, you can change you can change you can change you can change you can change you can change you can change WHATEVER, but unless you have the men, you will lose potorrrrrr.

This will end up "NOTHING" so far as Okraku heads the GFA. No GFA member should OWN a team in GHANA to avoid a conflict of interest in player selection. Simple!

Bright - If it amounts to nothing, Ghana fans will also stop attending matches for national teams and the leagues. Players might continue boycotting matches, the Black Stars will continue to lose games and the GFA will only continue extending their pain. The people will also vote against the ruling party that refused to do the right thing. The Black Stars is the only unifying entity Ghanaians have and we can't have these bastards destroy it.

Oh my goodness! Indirect solutions for direct problems will not work in a corrupting environment. Kurt receiving over 50,000 US dollars honorarium for attending and speaking is sickening and justifying it with precedence calculations should be enough to sack him. If we show our international players anytime they come to play videos of any good things that GFA is doing with the money from their sacrifice and hard work like for the youth and children and real projects, they will risk play Afcon with their heart.

The GFA needs a KPMG or EOCO Audit. I suspect Okraku or someone in the local scene related to him will receive some benefits whenever Carlos was to be fired in the future. ROFL - setup machine. Check how much Benjamin Tetteh received after featuring in this game whether it is the same as all the other players. Check money flow into Kurt okraku’s multiple accounts. The BIG rat will be found easily. Check Bulk cash withdrawals from members of the playing body or management and follow up what they did with it.

The only solution is to kick Kurt and his cronies out. Force him to resign. Our football is dead because of these greedy people, and it can never get better so long as the same wicked men are there. I hope they don’t qualify for the Afcon. How can you make the national team your personal property in the name of so-called football people, nonsense. We had a working system of developing teams and players for decades, before this incompetent and greedy buffons hijacked our football for their selfish interests. Their useless leadership and policies have completely destroyed our game and made us a laughing stock in Africa and around the world, yet they go on as if nothing is happening. Wicked men.

The involvement of the club owners is whats causing the problem they must be totally removed from coach selection and team selection. A clear strategy or vision to develop the local league from colts and the academies to the premier leagues must be pursued. Clamping down on selling of local games through betting national security must be brought in to destroy this cancer which has destroyed our local league games. Using our heads properly to select a good younger clever coach and the list is endless
