GFA President Kurt Okraku has broken his silence on his absence following the tragic death of Yaw Frimpong, popularly known as Nana Pooley.

His absence sparked widespread criticism and speculation, with many questioning his lack of public engagement on the matter.

Earlier, GFA Executive Council member Nana Sarfo Oduro revealed that Okraku had been out of the country for medical reasons.

Addressing the issue during his first meeting with Asante Kotoko since the incident, Okraku dismissed claims that he was campaigning for a CAF position, stating that his trip was for official GFA duties and personal medical needs. "When the Nsoatre incident happened, I was out of the country, not for a CAF slot campaign but to work for the FA and seek medical attention.
