Anas lights anti-corruption flames at CAF

The latest investigative expose by Africa’s most revered undercover journalist Anas Ayremeyaw Anas into football has sparked massive efforts by the continent’s football governing body, the Confederation of African Football, CAF, to employ pragmatic schemes geared towards fighting against corruption in football.

Speaking at the  COSAFFA Under-17 finals in Mauritius on Sunday, the President of CAF, Ahmad Ahmad pointed out that African football is making strides in its “fight” against corruption which has adversely affected the game over the years.

Mr. Ahmad added that CAF has already seen through many reforms to combat corruption since he took over the leadership 16-months ago.

“We have started to fight corruption and have changed many rules,” He said.

Adding that “corruption is not only in Africa but all over the world and everybody is trying to fight it.

“Maybe it is visible in some countries in Africa but believe me I’m sure in all sectors and all countries there is corruption,” Ahmad added.

In June, former Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi resigned from the posts he held with Fifa and Caf after he was filmed apparently receiving $65,000 (£43,000) in cash from an undercover Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Ahmad refused to comment on individual cases but said CAF has made huge progress in recent months.

“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.”

With Ghana scheduled to host the 2018 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in November, Ahmad confirmed he is looking at the tournament closely.

“I have a meeting with Ghana’s Minister for Youth and Sports next week in Madagascar.

“He is coming to see me and we will discuss this issue and also the Ghana Football Association,” Ahmad said.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
