The Member of Parliament for Ellembelle Constituency, Hon. Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah has revealed that, his office was not consulted or aware about the sale of Karela United to Hon.Haruna Iddrisu.

However, the MP of Ellembelle has disclosed that, he was not aware or informed of the sale of the club despite his numerous contributions since 2016 and even after the demise of club owner Senator David Cobbinah Brigidi.
” Can you imagine, I never had any ideal of the sale of the club, I have been supporting the club but when it came to the sale of the brand I wasn’t consulted, we only heard on radio that, the club has been sold.”
“For how, even let us know and have a round table” but they refused and denied us the access”.
It’s very sad, we would have secured the club here, but the directors and the family think otherwise because its their own property” Armah Buah told Onua TV on Friday.
“Though we made the move after the sale but we were informed nothing can be done but process already done” he added.
