Former Aduana Stars Chief Executive Officer, Kofi Manu strongly disagrees with the recommendation that there should be a modification of the football constitution to limit the terms of the president of Ghana Football Association.
This proposition was announced at the end of a two-day retreat of seasoned football administrators in Accra over the weekend.
The constitution currently allows the sitting president to contest for re-election once the four-year-term expires. But the Eminent administrators say the term of the president should be limited to two-terms.
Speaking to Joy Sports, Kofi Manu popularly known as "Blue Blue" believes. According to him, this proposition should not be encouraged.
“...Do you know how many people since 1992 have been in Parliament? Why would they not reduce the term in Parliament to two? I don’t know how people even reason,” he told JOY Sports.
“Some people have been in Parliament since 1992 to this day, you say the FA president should go two times [terms].
“Why don’t they legislate that the President of the republic of Ghana has two terms so every MP has two terms, what are they talking about?
“Have they not forgotten that it’s an association? We decide what we want to do in the association as long as it doesn’t conflict with the laws of the land.”
Meanwhile Kofi Manu believes the new sports minister Mahama Ayariga has taken on the wrong footing, describing his two-day seminar on football as bogus.
“It’s unfortunate that the new minister, well I don’t know who advised [him]; you have not even taken off and you are organizing a seminar.
“You have not read through a single file at the Ministry [and] you organized a seminar what input do you make?
“Is that how Ghana should be run? I thought that he would take his time, just because the Black Stars went to the World Cup and in the first round they couldn’t progress [so] you have to organize a seminar and people come out and write all of this bogus recommendations.”
