fools...ethics cmttee should be forced to explain to us why the fa president should own a club in the same lg he presides over. Is this not a conflict of interest? This is common sense and won't be taken lightly in any civilized country. Until these animals decide to do things in an ethical and civil manner. They don't have the fucking legitimacy to order anyone to come before the ethics cmttee for wrongdoing. Call nyantakyi first and stop the fucking dilly rallying. Ur irresponsibility is tje reason why there is rampant bribery, match fixing etc issues in gh soccer. Clean up that mess bcos fifa don't give a damn about Niggas. When palmer had an issue with ethics cmttee, u would think they would offer a solution. They sent him back to these clueless ethics cmttee idiots....If u don't have the sense to do what is right how can u expect fifa to waste their time?

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

GFA has an ethics committee?

And has a chairman who owns a club that competes with other clubs over which the chairman has decision-making authority in disputes?

And the same chairman does not account for what he receives, saying he is only accountable to FIFA?

From BBC:

Sierra Leone FA President Isha Johansen says she has been left 'shocked and mortified' by her detention at the hands of Anti-Corruption officials.

Johansen was released without charge on Thursday, having spent the previous night in custody in Freetown.

"Events over the past 48 hours (have) left me shocked and mortified," Johansen said in a statement.

"My innocence in any allegations involving corruption or related offences is undisputed."

"My fourteen-year career in football administration nationally and globally has from the onset been centred around bringing integrity and good governance into football," she added.

Johansen, the only female football president in Africa, was detained after failing to attend a hearing set up by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on the morning of 7 September, following which she was arrested.

She had recently returned from Ivory Coast where Sierra Leone had drawn their final 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on 3 September.

Two fellow Sierra Leone FA (SLFA) officials were also detained on Wednesday: Vice-President Brima Mazola Kamara and secretary general Christopher Kamara.

Like Johansen, Brima Kamara - a former Sierra Leone international - secured his release on bail and, late on Friday, he left the Criminal Investigations Department's headquarters in Freetown.

All three denied wrongdoing during their questioning by the ACC.

Earlier, armed police and ACC officials had raided the SLFA secretariat and taken away documents of interest to help their ongoing investigations.

Fifa says it is monitoring the situation, with the world governing body disapproving of governmental interference in the running of football.

The ACC picked up the leading SLFA officials after an FA Cup match on Wednesday.

Wednesday's detentions came shortly after the ACC started Operation Thunderbolt, which is aimed at intensifying the fight against corruption.

ACC official Patrick Sandy explained that they made the arrests due to a of lack of cooperation from the SLFA.

"We are investigating funds the SLFA received from Fifa, the Confederation of African Football and the government of Sierra Leone as we have the mandate to do so," Sandy added.

"We have invited them in writing and through other means to report to our headquarters but they disregarded our invitations.

"We wrote a letter to the SLFA scribe to submit documents relating to SLFA finances but they refused to cooperate.

"Instead they wrote back stating that they are not accountable to us and it could be considered as political interference, as they are only answerable to Fifa.

"The ACC is not a political institution, we are independent."

In the past, the SLFA has insisted it is only accountable to Fifa.

So You Think If The President Of Ghana is at the stadium, referees will not hear about it if they do not go and look for the president in the stands. High profile persons at any match are known by players, spectators & the referees. Moreover to let his presence felt, the head of the GFA may even go to greet ( welcome ) the officials & the teams. Won't that be intimidating in a situation like that where the referees job invariably depends on the head of the FA (whose team the referee is officiating ). Please be sensible enough that the referees are human beings & put in such a situation may influence their judgement.

Someone educate me here, if you can. Can the head of the FA own a football club? Is that not a conflict of interest? Is this done anywhere in the world? In Ghana, don't we have any rules /regulations against such blatant conflict? Please advise if you are knowledgeable about this as l am confused. In the case before the committee on September 15, are the committee members also members of the GFA of which Nyantakyi is the head? Or will Nyantakyi recluse himself during the hearing? This is unbelievable.

Now, I can surely conclude that Nyantakyi bribes and intimidates referees and players. Nyantakyi is a Certified Coefficient Crook - CCC. Thanks to all the football lovers who boycotted the Black Stars and Rwanda match. More of those

so the GFA is basically investigating itself? Well you know how that is going to go? Anytime an organisation is charged with policing itself it usually means only one thing. Business as usual. And the president of GFA cannot own a club in the league that is conflict of interest. This guy is basically too powerful with no checks and balances and it's time to put an end to it.
