Parliament invites Andre Ayew to answer questions on Black Stars poor showing at AFCON 2021
Ghana’s Parliament is set to begin investigations into why the Black Stars failed to give a good account of themselves at the just ended AFCON 2021.
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports has asked Black Stars Captain Andre Ayew through the Ghana Football Association to appear before the august House to answer questions on the Black Stars AFCON campaign.
Parliament will start investigation from February 16-23, as all stakeholders have been given an invitation to appear before the sports select committee.
Speaking in an interview with Ranking Member Kobena Mensah Woyome said they want to make sure that the cause of problems that resulted in the poor showing at the tournament in Cameroon is rooted out.
Ghana failed to win a single game at the tournament, losing to lowly-ranked Comoros Islands in the final group game.
Captain Andre Ayew was red-carded in that game, having opened Ghana’s goal-scoring account in the 1-1 draw with Gabon in the second group game.
It is, therefore, not out of place, the South Tongu Member of Parliament stated, that the leader of the playing body, Andre Ayew, is also being invited to their hearing.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP, however, hinted that due to the busy schedule of the captain, the Committee is aware he may not be physically available but they will make sure he represents the players to give their side of incidents in Cameroon.
He also assured the nation that this is being done to make sure that the team is fortified ahead of the 2022 World Cup play-off with the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
