We need to move in the right direction in Ghana, we need to tackle betting and gambling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to identify if really people at the top are involved in this terrible thing which is affecting the integrity of our game. You will not get sponsorship and money if you are seen to be involved in bad dealings. So Kurt needs to get a grip, he doesn\u2019t need to just talk about it, he must fix it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment must also get involved. Together let\u2019s find a solution because my late father used to tell me all the time that government is for the people and the narrative is true whether you are at the FA, ministry or somewhere else, you work for the people. Let\u2019s do the little things and get it right and not sit down waiting for things to fall apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong\/><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"peace_black_text_4\">Source: \/Ghana<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear:both\">\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"peace_red_text_1\">Disclaimer<\/span>: <span class=\"peace_ash_text_1\">Opinions expressed here are those of the writers and do not reflect those of .  accepts no responsibility legal or otherwise for their accuracy of content.
