The Majority Leader in Parliament and Suame Member of Parliament Osei Kyei-Mensah has stated that betting is destroying football in Ghana, hence it should be regulated or called off.
Mr. Osei Kyei-Mensah asserts that unless measures are taken, betting will make thing worse in Ghana football.
Sharing his statement;
Indeed betting is something which is really destroying our game. Football is and must be won on the pitch, but when people try to manipulate the results of the game even before it is played, then that is serious which needs an immediate solution.
I have been to so many countries across Africa and I don’t see these things happening there…If care is not taken, the game will be destroyed completely in the future.
I believe if we will allow betting in our games, then there should be strict laws or measures that will help us to regulate it properly so we don’t abuse or destroy the game entirely.
