I don't make Black Stars selections for C.K Akonnor - Kurt Okraku

He said such assertions are baseless because Black Stars coach, C.K Akonnor is a man on his own and there is no interference in his job.

Speaking in an interview on Joy FM, Mr. Okraku said there is a laid down procedure for invitations into the senior national team, therefore, he cannot influence the selections.

“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."

Invitations into the Black Stars controversy reared its ugly head in the last AFCON qualifiers in March when a section of the Ghanaian football fraternity questioned the invitation of Colchester player Kwame Poku.
