Can the government dissolve GFA? Here is what Ghana’s laws and FIFA rules say

Under Ghana's corporate insolvency framework, the Attorney-General has a specific statutory power to petition the Court for the official winding-up of a company, but section 84(1A) limits that power to the circumstances specified in section 84(2)(c), (d), and (e): unlawful business or objects, operation for an illegal purpose, or business not authorized by the company's constitution.

Therefore, the process would broadly be Attorney-General → petition to the Court → Court considers the statutory grounds → Court may order official winding-up.

Section 84(1A) of the Corporate Insolvency and Restructuring Act, 2020 (Act 1015), inserted by the Corporate Insolvency and Restructuring (Amendment) Act, 2020 (Act 1031), provides that the Attorney-General may present a petition to the Court for the official winding-up of a company only in the circumstances specified in section 84(2)(c), (d), and (e).
