George Afriyie exposes GFA grand scheme to consolidate congressional powers of Premier League clubs [Oyerepa FM] —

Former Ghana FA Vice President George Afriyie has revealed that the Ghanaian football governing body is considering proposals to take away congressional powers of Premier League clubs.

According to the articulate ex-Executive Council member, big guns like Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak would lose their decision-making powers in congress if the proposals find favour at the Executive Council and congress.

understands that the plan is among a list of proposals tabled before the Executive Council for consideration and onward determination and debate at the congress of the FA.

“One thing I’ve heard that I hope it’s not true is that the Status Review Committee has proposed that the powers of the premier league clubs will be consolidated and shared to the autonomous body, women’s premier league clubs, and so on,” Afriyie told Kumasi-based Oyerepa Sports.

“You cannot run a system where a club like Asante Kotoko would have no powers at the congress of the FA. It would be a chaotic situation,” he added.

The Susubiribi Sporting Club bankroller was also tight-lipped on whether he will contest in the next Ghana FA Presidential elections which is just 8 months away.
