Attorney General to brief parliament on former GFA president Kwasi Nyantakyi case
The Attorney General and Minister for Justice Gloria Akuffo is expected to brief parliament this week the extent of investigations so far conducted in the case involving former GFA president Kwasi Nyantakyi in the number 12 video.
The president of the republic in May last year instructed the police to arrest and investigate the then GFA president for a possible case of fraud.
This was after the president watched portions of investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ investigative piece dubbed number 12 in which Nyantakyi is heard mentioning the name of the president.
In the video, the then GFA boss was seen using the President’s name, that of the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and other senior government officials, to illegally request for various sums of money from investigators disguised as investors.
“You can start with something small in your own discretion, then when you get the contract; the big contract, we can go back and give them more money, then we will take over the whole country,” Kwesi Nyantakyi was heard in the documentary broadcast to large audiences in Accra and Kumasi in June 2018.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) as part of its investigations, seized mobile phones and laptops of the embattled football administrator as he was formally charged with defrauding by false pretence.
But more than a year down the line, not much has been seen about the case.
The Member of Parliament for Mion constituency, Mohammed Abdul-Aziz who filed the question said he believes that information is important for the governance of the country.
The update in Parliament is also coming at the time when Ghana football administration is beginning to recover after it nosedived following the airing of the documentary in June 2018.
Meanwhile, a new GFA President and Executive Council is being elected
