Accra, Jan. 17,- President Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that his government had almost forgotten about
the 2014 World Cup Commission of Enquiry.
He said the government is yet to
make any decision on a government white paper from the Commission’s
recommendations.
The president said this during
his interaction with the media on Wednesday at the Flagstaff House, where he
said the 2014 World Cup Commission government white paper had not been on his
radar.
The president said he had not
been concerned about the white paper, but will subsequently make the sports
ministry to advice him to take a decision on it.
“To be honest I had forgotten
about the 2014 white paper, but I have no doubt that my minister of sports is
fully up to it and would advice in due course, what should be the reaction from
me and the government. But it has not been something that has been on my
radar,” the president noted.
On August 4, 2014, government
commissioned a three- man Committee, chaired by Justice Senyo Dzamefe,
following the negative fallout from the Black Stars campaign in the 2014 Brazil
World Cup.
Established by Constitutional
Instrument C.I 82 with C.I 65 giving it the guidelines to operate, the
Commission had Moses Foh Amoaning, a private Legal Practioner and Kofi Anokye
Owusus Darko, a Football enthusiast as the other members.
