She explained that until her office is furnished with adequate evidence on the matter “there is nothing she could do” as far as prosecution is concerned. “You need evidence to proceed to court and at the moment I have not received anything from the investigators,” she insisted. The Ghanaian has been forced to resign from his roles at CAF and FIFA following the scandalous exposé as he fight to redeem an image which has been bruised beyond measure.
Nyantakyi, who has been GFA president since 2005 and was elected to the FIFA Council in September 2016, was filmed in a hotel room appearing to take a $65,000 bribe from a supposed businessman seeking to sponsor the Ghanaian football league.
Multiple award winning journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in his latest investigative piece on football dubbed 'Number 12' caught several match officials and football administrators on camera receiving monies suspected to be bribe, with erstwhile president of the GFA Kwesi Nyantakyi at the centre of the scandal.
All football activities came to a halt after Ghana government filled a law suit against the football governing in the country to retrain them from running football. However, FIFA instructed government to drop charges against the Ghana Football Association over what he termed as undue influence or risk avoid a ban.
Government rescinded its earlier stance and agreed collaborate with FIFA and CAF in forming a Normalisation Committee to replace the current Executive Committee of the GFA.
