Majority leader Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, should not behave as an ignorant ....

.... to the current trend of coaching in our country.

Maybe he didn't mean what he said in parliament about the ranting on the FA not to waste huge money on foreign coaches.l would excuse him based on the fact that,the circumstance that made him said that was to earn little favor from Ghanaian coaches in a way of tribute because of the death of the three legendary coaches Fred Osam Duodu, EK Afrane and Sam Arday. Hon.Kyei-Mensah must not think about the money the country spent on foreign coaches but start looking at the fact on the ground.Which local coach is he talking about? The country is short of competent local coaches and none of what we have currently can handle the senior national team.Those who are calling for local coaches are only talkative, what did Kwasi Appiah achieve when given the mantle. He only got one point at the world cup, even the players didn't respect him.

We should stop boasting upon that archaic history that it was a local coach that won us the four-nation cup because that tournament cannot be hundred times compare to this current Afcon we are playing.Haven't the FA gave the job to local coach before ever since we won that old Afcon titles and what happened.The majority leader must pinpoint one local coach in Ghana who is competent enough to be given the job.The just ended Afcon had local coaches but where it matters most the expatriate coaches triumphed over them, the four semi-finalists were all foreign coaches.

Bashiru Hayford, Opeele Boateng, JE Sarpong, Duncan and the rest currently lacked technique for coaching Blackstars, they only talk.Ghana has surpassed an experiment stage and world class coaches are the ones we need.Cameroon, Egypt and even Burkina are all using foreign coaches.Hon.Kyei-Mensah Bonsu must concentrate on his political job and his role as the minister of parliamentary Affairs and stop blasting the FA from what he doesn't know.Only the FA knows what is better for Ghana football and should not try to score unnecessary points from Nii Lantey camp.
