Jennifer Queen, a Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called for the resignation of Ghana Football Association (GFA) President\u00a0Kurt Okraku.<\/p>\n According to Queen, there are instances of deficit in Okraku\u2019s leadership, especially in the area of mismanagement and conflict of interest.<\/p>\n Her comments come in the wake of a recent demonstration led by some top sports journalists, who led hundreds to march through Accra under the \u2018Save Ghana Football\u2019 banner.<\/p>\n The protest sought a restructuring of Ghana football following the disappointing performance of the Black Stars at the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Cote d\u2019Ivoire.<\/p>\n Speaking on a panel discussion on UTV\u2019s Adekye Nsroma programme on February 15, 2024, she alleged that a significant number of GFA employees are affiliated with the president\u2019s football club.<\/p>\n She highlighted concerns about the appointment of individuals from Okraku\u2019s team to key positions within the association.<\/p>\n \u201cThe government spent 3 million out of the 8 million dollars budgeted for the AFCON, and how many points did we get? It got to a time\u00a0Kurt Okraku\u00a0was wearing an engagement dress and dancing to Black Sherif\u2019s song symbolizing that he doesn\u2019t care,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cHis administrator is someone who is taking care of his team, his financial person is also from his football team. Nobody holds anything against anybody\u2026football brings us together, when there is a football match, you don\u2019t hear anything about politics, even armed robbers surrender their weapons and watch football.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, can\u2019t the Sports Ministry do anything about him bringing his own people into the GFA? Don\u2019t they have a committee that can deal with that? It is high time we hold people responsible for the things that they do.<\/p>\n \u201cHe should go and sit home because if people demonstrate against you more often, it affects your integrity,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Resign to protect your reputation \u2013 Jennifer Queen advises Kurt Okraku#UTVGhana<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RzgXiuSVmI<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 UTV Ghana (@utvghana) February 15, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Source:\u00a0<\/strong>www.ghanaweb.com<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
