Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi has dismissed thoughts of a grand conspiracy by CAF to disgrace the nation through its decision to disqualify the Black Starlets over age-cheating claims.
The GFA have appealed the decision by CAF to disqualify the Ghana U17 team from next yearââ¬â¢s Africa Junior Championships following what appears to be a successful protest by Cameroon â⬓ Ghanaââ¬â¢s most recent opponent.
A recent MRI scan conducted on one of the seven Ghanaian players protested against by Cameroon, according to CAF, proves the said player â⬓ Isaac Twum â⬓ is over-aged.
But the GFA has mounted a staunch appeal â⬓ insisting it used only qualified players in its games based on expert reports received from a radiologist.
The GFA even sought an independent expert view in the wake of CAFââ¬â¢s disqualification to enforce its position on the appeal.
There are however high ranking members of the Ghana FA who believe CAF is on a witch-hunt for inexplicable reasons.
GFA Executive Committee member Wilfred Osei who also doubles as the Vice Chairman of the Black Starletsââ¬â¢ management committee believes Cameroon are just being aided by the continental body simply because CAFââ¬â¢s President â⬓ Issa Hayatou â⬓ is a Cameroonian himself.
But Kwesi Nyantakyi, who also serves on the CAF Executive Committee dismissed this thought â⬓ insisting CAF is a ââ¬Ëtransparentââ¬â¢ body with systems in place which will be difficult for anyone to manipulate.
ââ¬ÅThere is no decision of the [Ghana FA] Executive Committee of a conspiracy by CAF,â⬠Nyantakyi said.
ââ¬ÅI am on the Executive Committee of CAF and I know the going on there.
ââ¬ÅCAF is a transparent body and therefore it will be impossible for anybody to manipulate the system.
ââ¬ÅWell, you can make the attempt but you will not be successful.ââ¬
CAF is yet to sit on the appeal launched by the Ghana FA.
