Ghana FA president Kurt Okraku has rejected claims of imposing players on Black Stars coach Charles Akonnor.
The Ghanaian FA leader insists he does not have a hand in players picked for international duty- with that responsibility firmly fixed on the gaffer.
Widespread media reports have claimed over the period of a practice of top officials imposing players on the national team.
But FA boss Kurt Okraku has dismissed the claims as unmeritorious.
“Nobody imposes players on Charles Akonnor,” Okraku told Joy FM.
“Call-ups for all national teams go through processes and these people [Ghanaians] must understand. Gone were those days where one person will wake up one day and there is a call-up. It will never happen again.
“The coach and his team will work with the technical directorate to pick up a squad and if they are convinced about the squad, they need to convince the management of the team about the squad.
“Finally, there will always be a meeting, some I may attend or any other I pick to attend, and when there is a consensus, the squad is announced by the head trainer. This is a system that is administered everywhere in the world.”
He, however, added that; “If a coach wants a player, the player comes."
Akonnor has guided Ghana to secure a 23rd berth at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon next year.
