And Kofi Manu says the deputy Sports Minister at the time was the one behind Appiah's dismissal.

''Did you know that, our own Dormaa West MP contributed to the sacking of Kwesi Appiah? It’s time the truth be told,'' he told Sunyani based Space FM.

''The former government told the GFA president to sack Kwesi Appiah so that they [the government]will stop intruding into the affairs of the GFA but even after the exit of the former coach [Kwesi Appiah], the government did not give up on the GFA.''
