Ex-Ghana FA boss MND Jawula wants suspended duo Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari pardoned, bizarrely urging the controversial pair to earn a recall into the team following the Black Stars shaky start in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
The West Africans appear to be pressing the panic button after drawing 0-0 with Uganda in a 2018 World Cup qualifier at home two weeks ago.
Boateng, who is currently on the books of Las Palmas as well as free agent Muntari have been suspended indefinitely from the Black Stars for the past two years.
Muntari was frozen out of the team for “an unprovoked physical attack” on an FA executive committee member Moses Armah during a meeting to resolve a possible player mutiny over World Cup bonus payments.
Boateng was dropped from the squad because of "vulgar verbal insults targeted at former coach Kwesi Appiah"
Muntari, 32, finally apologised for his actions, two years after the incident led to his dismissal from the Black Stars and disgrace to the country with Boateng insisting he did nothing wrong in Brazil and alleges he was persecuted by Ghana FA officials.
And former Ghana FA chief MND Jawula insists the country must put the disgraceful chapter behind and recall the controversial duo.
"If you look at our performance against Uganda, there is a lot of concern about the state of our national team," he told Accra-based Starr FM
"For both Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari, the time has come when they should really be called-up.
"Because whatever has happen, has happened in the past. We should forgive everybody and move ahead."
The latest call from the traditional ruler, who is a member of CAF's Organising Committee for Inter-clubs competition, will split heads in the West African nation.
Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) president Kwabena Yeboah, has kicked against return of the in-form Las Palmas midfielder, claiming he is an opportunist
The Black Stars will travel to Alexandria on November 13 where they battle Egypt in a highly anticipated clash at the Borg El Arab stadium.
The four-time African champions are desperate to put their campaign back on track after picking just a point against Uganda at home two weeks ago.

Aah Alhaji, this one dieee, you've lost out. Are those players only made for World Cup? Discipline must be our watch-word.
Oh!!! Alhaji Iam disappointed.
Even those Politicians who milked our money to Brazil have been given presidential cover at the FlagStaff House why not a Player playing for his country! I do support the move to get the 2 players back! If Montie 3 gang can be pardoned by the President of Ghana on humanitarian groungs...even against threats on the lives of SC Judges, why not the two players? What are their crimes? Who in this Ghana is faultless? Our Politicoans who are ***barred word*** our monies like Ghana wi;; collapse tomorrow? Kwabena Yeboah should not be more pious and catholic than the Catholic Pope! Who hasn't gotten skeletons in his/her cupboard? Kwabena Yeboah should give us a break......Isn't he enjoying from Ghana FreeZone Board as a Board member?
What did KPB do wrong? Charge your curupt ministers and FA who just went to Brazil to loot and share the money for the nation. Alhaji MND got some brains in his head. Look at your Blackstars now! no competition, waste players aside very few. Fire burn you all haters!
I hope to God this isn't true. How can someone as experienced as Alhaji Jawula fail to see that this opportunist only comes begging with an innocent face when it is World Cup time?
