Head of Sports of Pure FM, Bright Kankam Boadu has commended a member of the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association, Frederick Acheampong for taking the initiative to purge his image and reputation of the allegations levelled against him by former Black Stars striker Ransford Osei.
In a discussion segment on his show, Kankam Boadu noted that Fred Achie’s decision to challenge the claims by Ransford Osei is a good step as his reputation is on the line.
Kankam Boadu however has an issue with some aspects of Fred Achie’s response to the allegations by Ransford Osei.
Kankam Boadu believes that the bit about Fred Achie demanding receipt or evidence of the alleged payment made by Ransford Osei is untenable as no receipt is issued for such payments.
“My only problem with the boy is that he appears to be still bitter about Achie. He made reference to certain things in the interview that I feel aren’t cool. I’m not sure the boy has a problem with the money he paid, his issue is that he wasn’t selected.
“Assuming without admitting that what the boy is saying is true, there is no surety that paying those monies would have guaranteed a place in the next selection.
“Achie has denied receiving money and said he needs evidence of payment. I have a little problem with that because you don’t get a receipt for such things. The part of the statement I disagree with is the bit about the evidence of payment because we don’t issue receipts for such payments. Getting evidence will be difficult but there could be a third party who will be a witness. The only time you will get evidence is if it was a bank transaction.
“We have a means to find out who is lying. We can find out, no matter what. This is the more reason we have the courts,” he said.
Fred Achie as he is known in the media space said in a statement released on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, that he has never demanded nor received the aforementioned amount from Ransford Osei.
