The Ghanaian Times captions it Editorial “Lessons from the Nyantakyi life ban”. The paper says even though it is an upsetting issue, the placement of the ban is quite understandable, considering the gravity of the offence allegedly committed by Kwesi Nyantakyi. The Ghanaian Times is sad that Ghana’s name has been dragged into the mud. What this means is that the world which remembers the country for her sparkling performance in football at the global level will now see the country in relation to the former GFA boss. The papers says, the decision by the former GFA boss to appeal against the decision by FIFA is a privilege that cannot be taken away from him, however, much as the Paper sympathizes with him, it is of the view that he should have very good reasons that can influence FIFA to review its decision. The Ghanaian Times says the issue of corruption and unethical behaviour for which reason a life-ban has been placed on Nyantakyi has dashed his ambitions for life and this should serve as a lesson to all existing and prospective administrators in the game of football.
The Daily Graphic reminds the five hundred Civil Servants inducted into the Service of the enormous duties they have to perform and urged them to discharge them with commitment and diligence. The Paper advices them to avoid the features of what have become common with civil servants: corruption, nepotism, absenteeism and other negative work habits. The Paper says these attitudes have eroded respect and trust for the Service. To the Daily Graphic, the Civil Service can be neutral and effective, but all depends on the trust and respect the Staff command by their professionalism. It urges political authorities to desist from interfering in the functions of the service.
