Restoring Integrity in Ghana Football: A Call for Accountability and Immediate Action Ibrahim Gagbuni

Published on March 17th 2025

.

The recent corruption allegations against Osekyere, Chief of Staff at the Ghana Football Association (GFA), and the broader accusations implicating the GFA, including its President, Kurt Okraku, have once again cast a dark shadow over Ghanaian football. The scandal surrounding the mismanagement of over 5 million Ghana cedis in the over-aged buses procurement deal, coupled with numerous other allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement, is a national disgrace.

As a football administrator and a dedicated stakeholder in Ghanaian football, I cannot remain silent while individuals entrusted with the development of our beloved sport continue to drag its name into disrepute. The actions of these discredited officials have not only eroded public confidence in the GFA but have also set back the progress of football in our country. Corruption at the highest levels of our football administration deprives young talents of opportunities, discourages investors, and weakens our competitiveness on the global stage.

It is unacceptable that while grassroots football struggles for funding and local clubs suffer financial distress, millions of cedis are allegedly misappropriated under the watch of Kurt Okraku and his administration. Ghanaian football cannot afford to be governed by leaders whose actions are consistently questioned and whose integrity is in tatters. The credibility of the GFA is now at an all-time low, and the only way to begin restoring faith in our football administration is through immediate accountability.

I, therefore, call for the immediate resignation of GFA President Kurt Okraku and his Chief of Staff, Osekyere. Their continued stay in office only deepens the rot and further damages the reputation of Ghana football. Moreover, I extend an open invitation to the Special Prosecutor to, as a matter of urgency, launch a full-scale investigation into these serious allegations.

A thorough, independent investigation will help sanitize Ghana football by exposing corrupt practices, punishing those responsible, and deterring future misconduct. This is the only way to reinstall integrity, transparency, and credibility in our football governance. Ghana deserves a football administration that is accountable, honest, and committed to the true development of the game.

The time for action is now. The future of Ghana football depends on it.
