GFA backs NC for Palmer’s disqualification decision.
Lawyers for the Ghana Football Asociation (GFA), Beyuo and Co, believes the Normalisation Committee did not make the decision to disqualify CEO of Tema Youth, Mr Winfred Kwaku Osei, known in football circles as Palmer, from contesting the 2019 GFA presidential election.
According to the brief signed by the lead council, Naa Odofoley Nortey sent to the court of Arbitration for sports ( CAS).
The NC, was acting as the election committee of the GFA but was madanted by FIFA rules to conduct integrity checks for the election to set up a new administration for the national association.
By so doing, the vetting Committe of the NC found by Mr Kwaku Osei culpable on two counts of his inability to admit that he was previously sanctioned for conduct that violated Article 2 of the GFA Code of Ethics and Articles(3) and (4) of the FIFA Code of Ethics owning to his public uterrances which were quoted in paragraph 8 of the brief.
However, the final verdict of the case is expected to be released on September next month by the Court of Abitration for Sports.
