Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council member Nana Oduro Sarfo has assured that all necessary stadium safety measures will be enforced when the Ghana Premier League resumes.
During a meeting with GFA officials, Asante Kotoko’s Interim Management Committee (IMC) Chairman, Nana Apinkra, issued a strong warning, insisting that the club would not return to football activities unless their concerns were properly addressed.
Responding to Kotoko’s demands, Oduro Sarfo acknowledged that many of the proposals submitted by Kotoko and Hearts of Oak are already in place but need stricter enforcement.
“The proposal they (Kotoko and Hearts) sent to the FA, most of them already exist. We just haven’t done well with enforcement, which we have now committed to improving,” he stated.
“For the proposals that aren’t in place, we will review them. Some have financial implications, so we will take steps to educate the clubs on the best way to implement them,” he added.
Oduro Sarfo also expressed confidence that once the GFA begins enforcing these measures, Kotoko will eventually reverse their stance and rejoin the league, even if all demands are not immediately met.
“I believe Kotoko understands that their petition requires a process. Some changes can be made immediately, while others will take time. As long as progress is being made and they are satisfied with our commitment, they know the rest will follow,” he concluded.
