The CEO of Databank, Kojo Addae-Mensah is encouraging the government of Ghana to lend financial support to the Ghana Football Association during these difficult times.
The Ghana Premier League was suspended in March this year, leaving clubs in precarious financial situations. The GFA have stated that they have reached out to government for support and Kojo believes that they should get it.
“It is very important the FA gets some of the stimulus package for the clubs,” Addae-Mensah told Joy Sports.
“But, this is the period where the FA must know that transparency and accountability is crucial. You can’t just demand for a stimulus package when you have no track record of transparency and accountability. You have to have proper books and proper plan on what you’ll use the money for.”
“This FA [leadership] has been in office for just few months and they would have the benefit of doubt so I think they deserve that support.”
