In June, Kwesi Nyantakyi resigned from his posts as Ghana Football Association president, CAF first vice president and FIFA Council member, after being captured in an exposé by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, receiving $65,000 (£43,000) in cash from an undercover reporter.

Although Ahmad refused to point to individual cases, he said CAF has shown that it is fighting corruption by suspending officials “who were involved in corruption before”.
“First of all, with the finances there is transparency and there is compliance which is not available in other sectors in Africa and we have changed some of our staff who were involved in corruption before,” he said at the Cosafa Under-17 final in Mauritius on Sunday.
The CAF president also touched on the recent suspension of football activities by the government of Ghana, in the aftermath of the Anas’ exposé.
