The former Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah is expected to join leading members of the Ghana Football Association on Tuesday to give evidence to the presidential commission of inquiry into the Black Stars’ 2014 World Cup campaign in Brazil.
Appiah, who was relieved of his duties last week, is reported to have been sent a letter requiring his attendance at the inquiry in Accra, which is being led by Justice Senyo Dzamefe.
So far, the commission has highlighted issues over a lack of player discipline, boycotting of training sessions and a row over the payment of appearance fees.
Last week, Lawrence Acheampong, the right-hand man to the former Ghanaian youth and sports minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, told the hearing that $19,831 was charged by an Angolan “errand boy” to take Ghana’s World Cup committee around town during the World Cup. Acheampong also highlighted that $135,000 was spent on buying food from a local supermarket in Brazil.
The commission was formed in July, despite strong condemnation from Fifa. Football’s world governing body as suggested that the west Africans could be banned from international competition if it is found there has been governmental interference.
