Barely a year after being fingered in a plot to fix matches of the Black Stars, President of the the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi has hinted that he is canvassing for financial support from individuals and corporate bodies to be able to gather enough resources to file a suit against the UK Telegraph Newspaper.

The CAF Executive Committee Member says filing a law suit in the United Kingdoms could cost a fortune,but nonetheless, he's bent on seeking donors to file a suit against the London-based Newspaper for alledging that he was involved in match-fixing.

Exactly a year ago, Lawyer-president of the Ghana FA announced that he would take legal action in the United Kingdom against the newspaper ‘The Daily Telegraph’, for claiming that he has signed to a contract with a betting syndicate to fix results of Black Stars matches.

Nyantakyi had earlier rubbished the undercover report by The Telegraph, and Channel 4’s Dispatches programme which sought to link him with match fixing saying it is a calculated attempt to cast a slur not only on his image but that of the GFA and the world governing body of football, FIFA.

Several Ghanaians and well-wishers of the noble administrator have urged him to clear his name from the allegations by dragging the Tabloid to courts, but the 48-old-year old lawyer has said that he cannot personally finance the suit, and is therefore seeking donors to drag the Newspaper to court.

"I have spoken to so many lawyers in England and we are still deliberating on it because it is not easy as it is in Ghana...to go to court there in (Great Britain) is a lot of money", Nyantakyi told Hot FM
"Half a million pounds or more and so I'm still seeking for sponsorships so that I can proceed with the suit",

"There are people who are encouraging me, with some even donating as much as  £10,000, others promising me £20,000 and so I am still gathering finances to make enough so I can file the suit", he added.
