A former Chairman of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe says the decision by the association to challenge the Dzamefe Commission report in Court is not the best way to handle the issue.The GFA has served a notice of its intention to go to court to challenge aspects of the Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry report, which it described as “misleading and inaccurate.”

A statement released by the association on Friday night expressed unhappiness about the Commission’s description of the Equipment Officer of the Black Stars as a “ball boy,” after the report said he was also paid $100,000 during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

“It is apparent that the description of the kit manager as a ‘ball boy’ is calculated to bring disaffection for the person in charge of the position even though his role is key for the highly-tuned professionals to perform at the top-level,” the statement said.

Adding: “The posturing of the commission by describing the kit manager as a ‘ball boy’, and the several other misleading and inaccurate conclusions, is what has led the GFA to instruct its lawyers to challenge the findings in court as mandated by the constitution of Ghana.”

But speaking on Morning Starr on Starr FM on Monday, the Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe said the GFA must take its time and study the entire document before going to court.“I think that would be a wrong move to do...I don’t know if they have fully read the report...I think they should have taken their time. I think the leadership of FA should take its time before it goes to the court. “I don’t think going to court is the way to go about it,” he said.
