The Minister for Youth and Sports, Honourable Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, has revealed that his ministry has held preliminary talks with ant-=corruption agencies in the country with the aim of investigating alleged instances of corruption in the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League.
This credibility of this year’s league has been questioned after numerous bribery scandals and allegations which led the minister to describe the league as unattractive.
Nii Lantey, in an interaction with members of “Football Africa Arena” about his engagement of security agencies on the matter of corruption in the GPL, said: “Soon, you will see what will happen. I have been talking to club representatives as well.
“I also think it is ingenious to club owners for club owners and administrators to also be running the football federation.
“The administration of our football should be devoid of conflict of interests. It must be professional and for people with the requisite knowledge and qualifications.
“Club owners are stakeholders. How can people be judges in their own cases?” he posed.
