Spokesperson for the Ghana Football Association, Randy Abbey has reiterated the GFA's resolve to submit itself to accountability, saying the association has nothing to hide.
And he found as a matter of bad faith, the action of the Economic and Organised Crime Office in obtaining an ex-parte warrant to 'search and seize' at the offices of the GFA. A motion on notice, for him, would have been a more reasonable recourse since the GFA was not running away from justice or was it aware the EOCO was investigating it.
Personnel of the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO formerly Serious Fraud Office), Tuesday raided the offices of the GFA and took away computers and files to aid their investigations into alleged financial malfeasance.)
But according to Abbey, who was speaking on Peace FM Friday morning, the GFA will not run away from accountability but will only comply with the EOCO if it follows due process.
Randy Abbey questioned why EOCO secured a court warrant, via an ex-parte motion instead of asking the court to compel GFA to produce the documents they need for their investigations.
The GFA on Thursday, December 9, sued the EOCO for human rights abuses and wrongful application of the law.
Randy explained that “the matter is in court and GFA will accept the court's decision”.
Meanwhile FIFA has given Ghanaian authorities until Sunday to stop interfering in the country's football association, warning that their action will have "adverse consequences" if the situation does not change.
