He said this in an exclusive interview with ChannelOne Sports after chairing the hearing that had the Sports Minister brief members of the Parliamentary Select Committee and lead conveners of the Save Ghana Football Movement, Veronica Commey and Saddick Adams.
Honourable Ussif provided some details about how three million dollars was spent on Ghana’s contingent at the 2023 AFCON that took place in neighbouring Cote D’Ivoire despite Ghana crashing out at the group stage after failing to win a game in the competition.

“I think he was defensive; he was defensive and I expect that from him because he would not sit down and just sit to listen…so yes he was defensive and so we will tease out what we need to tease out.”
The hearing continues on Wednesday, September 25.
