RGhana Football Association President Kurt Okraku has addressed concerns over the procurement of pick-up vehicles for Regional Football Associations, while taking a swipe at sections of the media for what he described as misleading reports.
Speaking at the GFA headquarters on Tuesday, April 15, Okraku confirmed that the vehicles cost a total of 262,224 US dollars.
He clarified that the funds were sourced entirely from the FIFA Forward program an initiative designed to support football development across member associations.
FIFA forward money comes in a straight jacket FIFA forward money is not used to buy secondhand cars.
FIFA forward money is not used by hidden mattresses, FIFA forward money is not hidden money.
And it’s important, my colleagues in the media, to learn what we mean by FIFA Forward Money
It’s important people learn how to report the truth, I have always said that truth would always win the battle.
If you lie, lies will come after you. he said
The FIFA Forward Program began working with Ghana in May 2016, when it was launched globally by FIFA to provide financial and strategic support for football development across its member associations, including the Ghana Football Association
