The Speaker of Parliament, Prof Aaron Michael Oquaye has underscored the fact that Parliament has the power to regulate activities of any organization in the country through its special committees.
Parliament he said should be the most authority interested in all happenings in the country since it constitutes the representation of all citizens.
The Speakers pronouncement comes in the wake of an expose by undercover Investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas where officials of the Ghana Football Association, referees among other sports officials were caught on tap allegedly receiving bribes.
Member of Parliament for Bodi, Sampson Ahi who raised the issue on the floor of Parliament urged the House to conduct an independent investigation into the matter and compel the GFA President to resign.
