US-based Ghanaian commentator Kevin Taylor has made new claims against GFA President Kurt Okraku, vowing to get him prosecuted by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). In a recent episode of his popular show, With All Due Respect, Taylor alleged that Okraku collaborated with the current Sports Minister, Kofi Iddie Adams, to spend money through the Black Stars. This has added to the mounting pressure on Okraku following the Black Stars' recent losses.
The Black Stars suffered a 4-2 defeat to The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. This loss left Ghana bottom of Group C without a point, following a previous 2-0 loss to Côte d'Ivoire. Several public figures, including Sam George, Kwame A-Plus, and Afia Schwarzenegger, have called for changes at the GFA, with some demanding Okraku's removal.
Kevin Taylor's allegations against Okraku were shared on Instagram by Daily View Gh, where they attracted strong attention from football fans and social media users. In the clip, Taylor described Okraku as a criminal and claimed he would get him arrested, prosecuted, and sent to jail. He also indicated that he was ready to respond if Okraku decided to take the matter to court.
Taylor plans to petition EOCO to investigate Okraku. While neither Okraku nor the GFA had publicly responded at the time of writing, YEN.com.gh could not verify Taylor's claims. An angry supporter had previously confronted Okraku at the Accra Sports Stadium after the Black Stars' defeat to The Gambia, highlighting the growing discontent among fans.
The confrontation between the supporter and Okraku was captured on footage, showing the fan pointing at the GFA president and shouting as he tried to leave the venue. Security personnel and members of his entourage intervened before the situation escalated. This incident underscores the intense scrutiny Okraku is under following the team's poor performance.
The pressure on Okraku has been building, with many calling for his resignation or removal from his position as GFA president. The recent losses have sparked a heated debate about the state of Ghanaian football and the leadership of the GFA. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Okraku will respond to Taylor's allegations and the growing criticism.
The controversy surrounding Okraku and the GFA highlights the challenges facing Ghanaian football. With the Black Stars struggling to achieve positive results, the focus has shifted to the leadership and management of the team. As the football community waits for Okraku's response to Taylor's allegations, one thing is certain – the outcome will have significant implications for the future of Ghanaian football.
