The new government in Ghana has denied that it is interfering in the affairs of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).The Kwesi Nyantakyi-led GFA board was last week summoned to appear before a government transition committee to explain how money was spent on the country's national football teams.This prompted talk of the government meddling in the activities of the GFA, a development which could incur the wrath of Fifa.But the government is unrepentant, arguing that it has a duty to hold the GFA to account."The fact is the Ghana government owns the Ghana football teams and the Ghana government spends money on those football teams," Kobby Acheampong of the transition committee told BBC Sport."So it is only proper that when a new administration takes over, you do some accounting to establish what has been spent and what can be projected into the future."That is all that is happening."Professor John Evans Atta Mills, a former football administrator, was sworn in as the new president in Ghana earlier this month.Mills election sparked fears that Nyantakyi's board would be replaced but Acheampong insists the new government is not interested in running the game."That's not our responsibility. After all, they were elected by a congress, so they will stay on until their term of office expires."Despite the investigation into the country's football finances Acheampong says the new government will expand support for the game in the country."Football has the ability to bring the nation together, so the government will engage itself at all times looking for financing for the development and promotion of football in this country."Source: BBC
