According to a report by Kessben TV, on Friday November 6, 2026, Sports journalist Andy Kerm of Kessben Sports has raised concerns over the Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku’s reported desire to hold a closed-door meeting before responding to questions about Ghana’s prolonged inability to win a major football trophy.

Andy Kerm questioned why the GFA President would prefer a meeting behind closed doors when addressing an issue that has generated considerable public interest, particularly Ghana’s 44-year trophy drought.

In a statement, the Kessben Sports journalist expressed concern about what he considered an attempt to prevent the public from gaining access to answers regarding the country's football challenges.

He questioned what could be so sensitive about the matter that would require the GFA President to meet privately before explaining the circumstances surrounding Ghana’s failure to secure a major trophy for more than four decades.

“What is so fishy that GFA President Kurt Okraku wants to meet in camera before he can answer why, for 44 years, there has been no trophy?” Andy Kerm asked.

His comments have brought renewed attention to the accountability of football administrators and the need for clear explanations about the challenges facing Ghanaian football.

According to the journalist, Ghanaians have a legitimate interest in understanding why the country, despite its rich football history and reputation on the African continent, has struggled to add another major trophy to its collection over the past 44 years.

Andy Kerm further argued that the public should not be excluded from discussions concerning the administration and performance of Ghana football, insisting that citizens deserve answers because they participated in choosing the country's leadership.

“Ghanaians voted and deserve to know,” he stated.

The journalist's remarks highlight broader concerns about transparency, public accountability and the direction of Ghana football under the current GFA administration.

Ghana has a proud football history, having won the Africa Cup of Nations four times, with its last triumph coming in 1982. The continued absence of another AFCON title has remained a major talking point among football supporters, analysts and stakeholders.

Although the reasons behind Ghana's trophy drought have been widely debated, Andy Kerm believes questions surrounding the matter should be addressed openly rather than through discussions held behind closed doors.

His comments have added to the ongoing conversation about the responsibilities of football administrators and the expectations of Ghanaians who want to see the national teams return to winning ways.
