#Number 12: Meet The Two GFA Officials Who Rejected Anas’ Bribe
The first screening of Anas latest exposé took place yesterday June 6, 2018 at the Accra International Conference Center.
Many Ghanaians trooped in there to watch how the wind was blown off the ‘anus’ of some corrupt officials at the Ghana Footaball Association(GFA).
The video, put together by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye Pi team is indeed, a bombshell.
The video allegedly captures 77 Ghanaian referees and 14 GFA officials for engaging in acts of corruption.
However, as with most corruption documentaries by Anas, a few individuals are celebrated for their honesty as a result of rejecting bribes.
They are Executive Committee Members of the GFA, Kweku Eyiah and John Frederick (JF) Mensah.
The two have been revealed as the two men who stood up against being bribed in the exposé titled – #Number 12.
According to a report by the Daily Graphic, the two men resisted the attempts to be compromised.
Ayiah, a lawyer is the Management Committee Chairman of the national U-17 team, the Black Starlets.
