  The monumental achievements in the terrain of football administration by Nyantakyi's team is enough for us to trust him. We are not expecting perfection, we are not expecting a flawless control, we are expecting monumental achievements and willingness to fight the rest of of the problems that is why this GFA needs to commended because they have at every turn shown that and eschew arrogance. In the past we have had GFA's, arrogant who had a lot of flaws and underper-formed and wasted money.

  With FIFA no longer able to provide the collective shield for these band of thieves, the end has surely come for Nantekyi. Please resign quietly before you drown in the storm that is surely coming.

  His Excellency THIEF Nyantakyi is a coefficient crook. H.E is a lawyer. H.E THIEF Nyantakyi gave outvstate money without receipts, invoices, payment vouchers, memos or even signatures ot thump prints and he says we shd clap for him bcis he is an illiterate ? Tweaa.
  
  That act was deliberate to steal taxpayers monies. I will never pay to watch ANY match in Ghana if Nyantakyi the coefficient THIEF is not sent to jail.No wonder he is growing lean for fear of jail. Hia hia hia hia hiaaa. That is the laughter of a Chinese drunkard.

  Go and contest him. The FATHER constitution does not prescribe term limits, so don't expect Nyan the Kyi to step down for you. As for your assertion that only club owners get I to the FACEBOOK, you are right, but that is what the constitution says. One must be affiliated to a club to qualify to contest FL elections. Perhaps you want millionaires who have no idea about what it takes to run a football team, to become GA president. To own a football is a sacrifice. That is why some of the traditional clubs have collapsed. Kumasi Corners is an example. You may not like Nyantakyi but let's give praise where it is due.

  The GFA is one good example of how individuals hijack public institutions to fleece the country unchecked with impunity.I careless if the GFA is classified as a government organization or not because it is a syndrome all over the country.In short most public institutions or government organizations are been run as individual private co-operate entities by corrupt,selfish and grandiose management heads who are pr-occupied with enriching themselves at the expense of the tax-payer.Virtually all our public institutions are run by criminal syndicates in typical mafia fashion with the sole aim of ganging up to loot and share.I have said a number of times that the corruption machinery in most public institutions is huge and sophisticated involving very top men.Indeed it is made up of bunch of old crooks who employ all sort of tactics like cronyism,nepotism,ethnocentrism and politics to sanctify,purify and ensure its further growth.Why do you think Nyantakyi brought in Sani Dara who was instantly rewarded with a created new office and a new position,so-called PRO.It is all aimed at creating a strong iron cast shield to insulate their nefarious activities from public glare.Those who often oppose criminal syndicates in public institutions are falsely implicated,victimized and sabotaged.Indeed a lot of people have been falsely implicated and sacked from public institutions because they opposed corruption and scandalous acts that reaped the nation's purse at the expense of the tax payer.A good example is the case in the Ghana Health Service in which a doctor was falsely implicated with a mental illness and sacked by no mean a person by the Director General Appiah Denkyira simply because he was vocal against a senseless bribery scandal that killed a patient in Effia Nkwanta hospital.Appiah Denkyira sacked the doctor through an indefinite suspension because he spoke against the unfortunate death of a patient who was refused blood transfusion because she could not offer 50 ghana cedis bribe.The story of the unfortunate demise of the teenager was published in the News Papers with the MD of the hospital falsely accusing the doctor on duty that night of leaking the story to the media.The MD Dr Ntodi subsequently vowed he will ensure the doctor is sacked from the GHS if he does not leave the hospital and indeed made good his threat by linking up with the corrupt hierarchy of GHS.Letters prior and after his dismissal were copied to then Health Minister Alban Bagbin.There were initial clear attempts at implicating the young practitioner by calling for the deceased patient's folder at GHS headquarters following media outcry on the unfortunate death of Patience Sakpetey.A malicious and false accusation of failure to have compulsory treatment for what the GHS termed 'possible delusional disorder' without bases was what incredibly informed his sacking by the GHS.The doctor suffered 2 assassination attempts when he took his case to the high court prompting him to write to the PRO/IGP for police inquiry into his case to no avail.This case is still pending in court since 2012 only heard for the first time in the Human Rights Court just this year as a result of all efforts to gag, destroy the case and deny him justice.This case tells of the sophistication and complexity of the corruption industry.They are even ready to come after you.They may be so many Songos,Dan Kwaku Yeboahs but fear of reprisal attacks targeted at eliminating them will force them into cowardice silence.In a country where corruption appears to be a cultural norm very few people talk about it.Majority have been gagged into silence either for fear of victimization or favor of cash by way of bribery and other forms of inducement.I have been consistent and insistent on my argument that the only way to fight gargantuan corruption in Ghana is a government with the political will and commitment to implement stern anti-graft measures.Investigating the GFA and its nefarious activities that is killing our beloved football is long overdue.But the political will and commitment by the Mahama government to set up a commission of enquiry to probe the GFA following the Brazil fiasco is most commendable.At least it took one hell of a Zongo Revolutionary in the person of Sulley Muntari to break all odds in an unorthodox fashion to alert the world about the nagging,chronic corruption in the GFA.That is why Sulley should not be labelled a rebel but a hero who have done what many lack the guts to do for fear of victimization.The coincidence of the ramifications of the invisible FIFA probe with the albatross of government non-interference insulating affiliated associations was God send opportunity.I am particularly happy with the singular act of notable guru of the ruling party like Kokou Ahnyidoho strongly advocating for full scale investigations into the activities of GFA instead of the usual attempt at shielding.Everybody could see the frenzy,desperate attempt by Nyantakyi to parry him because he is well aware of a Pandora box opening without the government of the day shielding and sweeping things under the carpet.To be fair to the Mahama Government a good number of public institutions have been exposed in the fight against corruption.What the government needs to do is to crack the whip without fear or favor.Sanctions against indicted public officials have been loose,few and far in between making a joke out of the fight against corruption the President rightfully described as mass murder.For example what happened to indicted public officials when the Ghana Health Service was implicated in the AG Report of 8 million ghana cedis financial malfeasance in early much?What about the cases at GYEEDA,SUBA,NYEP?Have they refunded monies? and are they refunding the colossal sums that will merely end the case without punishment to serve as deterrent?The only place where there have been proper accountability and proportionate punishment is the NSS probably because of the scale of the crime.If there is one thing this government will have to do as a true Social Democratic Party is to champion the implementation of the National Anti-corruption Action Plan.It is a must because looting of public funds orchestrated and supervised by heads of public institutions quick to blame politicians for their shortfalls is a festering cancer rapidly eating up the country.A National Anti-Corruption Plan must not just be implemented to gather dust as a white paper but rigorously enforced with stern anti-graft measures to check perverts in public institutions.The government should find ways of protecting and rewarding whistle blowers to encourage more intimidated into morbid phobia and culture of silence to report cases of corruption and financial malfeasance.People talk nonsense about the AFRC/PNDC Revolutions and its excesses.The revolution was necessitated and became popular at the time because of festering corruption that enriched few at the expense of masses dieing from poverty and starvation.The government and the NDC as a party should re-embrace the cherished values of the PNDC of Probity,Accountability and Integrity to give true meaning to a Social Democratic Party that stands for social justice in the interest of the poor masses.Some of us believe some of the senseless acts of looting are conscious callous machinations by anti-government forces targeted at ambushing and making the government unpopular.The Mahama Government must resolve to work with the basic tenants of a socialist movement to endear itself to the populace one of which is fishing out and dealing with corrupt elements who are an anathema to national development.

  Nyankekyi started well and I admire him greatly for achieving the onerous feat of taking the Black Stars to their firt ever world cup in 2006. Following that I suppose he has fallen to the popular saying Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. His arrogance at the Brasil inquest was so sickening I lost every respect I had for him. He better be sur he has not soiled his hands. Or trust me if the capos in Ghana tried to shield him because they were complicit this will not be the case with an international forensic audit. He better clean his house or ......
