Supreme Court nominee, Justice Senyo Dzamefe, says some of his recommendations after the 2014 Commission of Inquiry were deployed by the government, while others have been ignored.
Justice Dzamefe headed the committee for investigations after the Black Stars' mess at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, where the team exited the competition in the group stage.
The commission was established by then-President John Dramani Mahama to investigate the events that led to Ghana's early exit from the tournament and the accompanying public uproar over financial mismanagement.
According to him, the government accepted some of his recommendations, while no actions have been taken on the others.
"Some [of the recommendations] were, but not all," Justice Dzamefe said when quizzed about the outcome of the committee. "We recommended a lot of recommendations, but not all were taken."
"We said players should not be paid cash. We all saw what happened in Brazil when we had to fly money to Brazil for players, and we saw some of the players holding theirs; it was one bad thing for Ghana.
"We also recommended that the state should not sponsor supporters to go to countries while we are playing."
Justice Dzamefe was speaking during his vetting before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Monday, June 16.
