The Sports Minister made the pronouncement during the launch of former President Kufuor foundation cup match.

“This is important for all of us to reform ourselves as individuals . . . if you are here as a club owner, please reform yourselves,” he charged.

“ . . What we saw on the video is about all of us, in totality let us reform ourselves so we can save our football,” he added.

According to the Minister, Ghana is and will always be a friend to the world governing body FIFA and the confederation of Africa football, CAF.

FIFA will work with Ghanaian government to eradicate corruption and malfeasance and other associated criminal conduct from the administration of football in Ghana.

“Ghana is a friend of CAF/FIFA/ . . . We have demonstrated to them that government is not interfering but intervened to save our football and that government is committed to the process of reforming Ghana’s football,” he stated.
