Kotoko’s Executive Chairman, Dr. K. K. Sarpong has advised the teeming fans of the club to respect the views and opinions that would be expressed by the Board of Directors and Management of the club on the report submitted by the three-member committee that was set-up to investigate events that led to the cancelation of the chairmanship election of the Ashanti Regional Circles Council (ARCC).

Dr. K. K. Sarpong gave the advice on Tuesday at the club’s secretariat when he received the report of the committee which was established last month. “Whatever we think we will take out of this report to advance the course of the club, we will do so.  We crave your indulgence to respect the opinions that the board and management will come out with on the report. I am quite confident that this report will give us the foundation on which to build a lasting peace” he said.

The Executive Chairman continued that the board and management of the club would closely study the report and make their views known by the close of this month. The committee chaired by the former Offinso South Municipal Chief Executive, Honourable Freddy Amponsah started work on September 20 and ended on October 14, 2011.

Honourable Amponsah in his presentation said parties invited by the committee collaborated well. He added that they experienced no difficulty in their work. The committee chairman disclosed that the report covered three areas namely the Minutes of their Sittings, Findings and Recommendations.

Recalling some spurious media reports that made rounds even when the committee had not completed its work, a member of the committee, Kwaku Nsiah Yeboah, advised the media to seek accurate information on issues that they report on, a point that was supported by the committee chairman and secretary to the committee, Lawyer Marie-Louise Simmons.
