The former national U-23 assistant coach wants the Black Stars boss to reveal his exact plans for the team.
Veteran Ghanaian coach Joseph Emmanuel 'JE' Sarpong wants answers from Black Stars boss James Kwesi Appiah over an ‘apparent change of direction’ of the national set-up.
Since assuming duty last year, Appiah has been on what has looked like a rebuilding mission in the wake of the team's disappointing 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign under former coach Avram Grant.
The exercise saw some supposed 'old' players dropped for fresh blood.
His latest assembly, though, looks like a deviation following call-ups to the likes of 31-year-old John Boye, 32-year-old Harrison Afful as well as Daniel Opare and Abdul Majeed Waris, who turn 28 and 27 respectively by the next two months.
“Kwesi Appiah has held everything [concerning the direction of the team] in secrecy. He needs to come out and explain issues," Sarpong told Angel TV.
"He and the technical team should open their eyes, their jobs are on the line.
"There is no longer an FA to impose players on him, so he needs to be consistent in his selections.
"Ghanaians complain a lot, they will also begin to talk when they become fed up.
"I have no qualms with the players selected, but he made us understand he was building a team, so what is happening now?"
Appiah's latest squad also has a debut call-up for 28-year-old Belgium-based striker William Owusu Acheampong.
Ghana are set to play away to Kenya in 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying on September 8.

Kwasi appiah should come out to explain what? This mindset of ppl like J.E. Sarpong has made coaches play to the gallery with the aim to please others. Kwasi has the task of building a team. Pls allow him to explore far afield and try new ones. That is the only way we can have a formidable team. To me, any player with a bloated ego must not be in the team, no matter his talent.
@justice ooo-takoradi, I will like u to divide $35,000.00 by 24 and u will knw how much he is paid. It will help u understand more of the $35,000.00...and also if u don’t knw just ask as the way u ask for the pay if the president
Am even surprised why over 35 thousand dollars (OVER ONE BILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND OLD CEDIS ) which call be used to construct bore holes for people to have a portable water to drink is use for part Kwesi APPIAH every month. WHAT IS WRONG WITH BLACKS. HOW MUCH IS NANA AKUFFO ADDO MONTHLY SALARY.THE PERSON WHO IS CARRY THE WHOLE NOTION ON HIS HEAD. YOU ASSEMBLE PLAYERS WHO KNOWS HOW TO PLAY ALREADY FOR ONE WEEK.JUST TALK TO THEM AND POSITION THEM ON THE FIELD FOR A MATCH FOR 90 MIN. FINISH. BLACKS STARS HAVE NOT PLAY ANY MUCH FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. MEANING HE SIT AT HOME AND ENJOY TAX PAYERS MONEY EVERY MONTH. WHILES PEOPLES A DYING FOR LACK OF BEDS AT THE HOSPITALS. WE ARE SICK AS GHANAIAN. GOD HAVE MERCY ON US.
can we have constant players for a national team? players are selected based on their form and other factors. allow the coach to work. at least wait after the game then u raise technical issues when necessary. this is not the first time Kwasi is playing qualifiers. he has to be unpredictable in his selections in order to bring competition. we don't want certain players to be selfish and too know.
