Speaking on Happy FM, the seasoned football administrator noted that: “If you’ve GHC50k to contest Kurt Okraku come, we are waiting for you".
''Whoever is ready should come because if we are able to get at least 20 persons paying GHC50k each, that would be good money for the GFA.''Asked whether he sees the upcoming election as straight fight between Kurt Okraku and former vice President George Afriyie, Takyi Arhin replied boldly that, no one can compete and unseat the current Ghana FA boss Kurt Okraku.
