These are allegations meant to discredit and distract me and those supporting me from the main agenda, which is for me to contest again.<\/p>\n<p>But you know, it is good, because it\u2019s been one year since the allegations were made and I have been waiting to hear from the Anti-Corruption Commission. So two days after I declared my intention of running again they decide to say something again, which is a sigh of relief anyway,\u201d Johansen told GNA sports.<\/p>\n<p>But Johansen insist she won\u2019t relent on her decision to stand for the second time, and insists that she will take immediate action to clear herself of the charges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will go to court next month and am very much looking forward to that. And I can just move on to doing my business which is, I will run for the second term and I will focus on building our football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johansen however admitted that there were \u201cunethical practices\u201d at the SLFA before she assumed office and that was why she came in to clean up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the reasons I came in, in the first place. There have been instances of corruption and unethical practices, which is the reason why I decided to come and clean up the football Federation,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>The SLFA was supposed to hold elections in early August but it was delayed by football&#8217;s world governing body FIFA until integrity checks on the current and potential SLFA executive members are carried out. Johansen\u2019s reign as SLFA president since 2013, has been blighted by controversy and infighting. She is expected to appear in court for the charges leveled against her on October 30.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FGhonetv%2Fvideos%2F1447392798648548%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: 45 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Tuesday, 26 September 2017 Source: ghananewsagency.com 2017-09-26 Isha Johansen &#13;
