Kwadwo Poku ‘Mahala’ has made claims that Paa Kwesi Fabin, the new Kotoko coach has the habit of taking bribes.

The former U-17 coach of Ghana was appointed as coach of Asante Kotoko, just a day after sacking Steve Polack.

However, Kwadwo Poku who made his debut for the Porcupine Warriors in 2002 has accused him of bribery.

” I know human beings can change at a time but what I know of Paa Kwesi is that he is not a good coach. He takes bribe and I don’t know if he has changed or not” Poku told Silver FM.

“Paa Kwesi takes bribe a lot, I remember during our time with him at Kotoko and even at school (OKESS) that was what he was doing, always receiving bribes. That is the gospel truth concerning what I know of him.”

Kwadwo Poku narrated an incident of an alleged bribery that led to the sack of Fabin during his first stint with Kotoko.

“During our time at Kotoko, I remember there was a game in which Alex Asamoah knew he would start because he was part of the team’s preparations during that week.  Paa Kwesi didn’t use him for that game and rather used Baffour Gyan who came from Accra the day before the game”

“He also benched the other strikers who were expected to make the match-day list to pave way for Gyan. Alex Asamoah questioned him about that and he (Paa Kwesi) told Alex that he’ll put him in a fridge meaning he is not going to use him for matches anymore.”

“I called the management members at that time and reported Paa Kwesi to them and he was sack the following day.”
