Renowned legal practitioner and sports enthusiast Moses Foh-Amoaning has slammed the world football governing body, FIFA for threatening to suspend Ghana if the petition to start the liquidation process of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is not withdrawn from court.
In a letter addressed to the two-man liaison team currently responsible for the administration of football in the country, FIFA said it views the ongoing liquidation process by the government as an interference in the administration of football.
"To date, the scope of the investigation into the allegations of widespread match-fixing and corruption within the GFA remains unclear. However, the Bureau considers that the petition introduced by the Attorney General to the High Court of Justice to start the liquidation process of the GFA constitutes an undue influence in the affairs of the GFA in contravention of art. 14 par. 1 of the FIFA Statutes."
FIFA added that if the petition is not withdrawn by 10:00 GMT on August 27, the GFA will be suspended with immediate effect.
However, in an interview with Nana Yaw Kesseh on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" Morning Show, Tuesday, Foh-Amoaning wondered why FIFA would want to suspend the country’s FA when they were part of the process from the beginning.
According to him, “Ghana can take FIFA on if it goes ahead with the suspension because they agreed after watching the video (Anas’ number 12 documentary) that there was corruption and the exchange of money. They can go ahead and suspend us…government should not be shaken by this”.

`It is a known fact that only the NDC can compete with FIFA on corruption. Thus FIFA will do anything to defend corruption in the football fraternity. Moses, well done!
Moses May God bless you for standing up against evil. You’ve earned my maximum respect
Mr Moses, dont think you are wiser than FIFA, you guys were all there when Nyantatyie took seige of the GFA, so this is not the time for you to come out of your shell to be playing Mr know it all. GFA shouldnt have been desolved just because of a mere poor video allegation of corruption which you and I know it is not enough to establish prima facie case. FIFA hadnt started anything with you in the first place so dont misleed the populace.
Moses FIFA is an association they say they don't want you in their league what can you do is it by force? create your own association and organise your competition.
abbooooa u fi ga say ghana b ur own
Foh Amani, if FIFA suspend Ghana, you ll lose nothing. it's the club owners and footballers who ll suffer. this is common sense, if some officials were alleged to be corrupt, do we collapse the entire association? you people should continue to mislead the govt for your overly personal selfish interest and hatred for individuals in the FA
