President of the Ghana FA Kwesi Nyantakyi confirms his outfit will move swiftly to address the situation.
"Betting is a very dangerous development that has crept into the fabric of football administration in Ghana.
" I have received some complaints from members of the Executive committee and well meaning people running football in Ghana."
"We have taken the necessary steps to arrest this canker, which we believe if we don't confront at this stage might go beyond our imagination."
"The security services have been notified to bring all culprits to book" Nyantakyi added.
