President of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) Kudjoe Fianoo is reported to have withdrawn from the five-member committee set up by the government to oversee football administration in Ghana in the face of a dissolved Ghana Football Association (GFA).
The reports of his withdrawal came on Monday, a day before the committee’s inauguration.
The committee was set up by government on Wednesday, June 13 after an Accra High Court upheld an injunction application to have the GFA dissolved.
The chairman of the interim management committee (IMC) is Dr Kofi Amoah, the Chairman of the Local Organising Committee of Ghana 2008.
Mr Fianoo was expected to serve as Secretary as well as a member.
The other members are Abedi Pele, Rev Osei Kofi and Eva Okyere.
Peace FM’s sports journalist Daniel Kweku Yeboah will serve as spokesperson for the committee.

Though Mr Fianoo is yet to officially comment on the development, reports say his decision was made after a proposal by GHALCA was rejected by government.
The setting up of the committee is one of the fallouts of an investigative work undertaken by Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
The work captured a number of high-ranking football administrators including the former head of Ghana football, Kwesi Nyantakyi, engaging in underhand dealings.
