Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa wants the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to adopt a more transparent, futuristic approach to running football in the country.
He made the comments following Ghana's abysmal showing at the Africa Cup of Nations
The Balck Stars suffered a humiliating first round exit after finishing third in Group B with just two points.
Mr. Ablakwa who was speaking on Metro TV on Friday, said ; ''We must really make sure that the opacity is addressed so that the scarce resources we have, we can be sure exactly what we are doing with that money in sports. And that's really where we must start from. Not about appointing new look, no matter.''
On Thursday, the Ghana Football Association, without acknowledging the team's failure and their role in it, announced a five-member committee to oversee the appointment of the next Black Stars coach.
The committee will be chaired by GFA vice president Mark Addo with legal practitioner Ace Ankomah as his vice. Chief Director of the Sports Ministry, William Caesar Kartey, former Kotoko General Manager Samuel Opoku Nti and the GFA's Director of Coaching Education Professor J.K Mintah are the other members of the committee.
The decision has been widely criticized by many Ghanaians including Mr. Ablakwa.
''Even if you bring coaches like Klopp of Liverpool, the man City coach Pep Guardiola, even if you bring all of these outstanding coaches into this system, into this structure, don't expect any magic.''
The GFA has set a February 2, deadline for all applicants for the Black Stars job.
