Okraku has faced considerable criticism in recent years for purportedly taking a part in team player selection decisions.
He faced similar charges throughout the tenures of Charles Kwablan Akonnor and Otto Addo, but the FA President has denied them.
“I didn’t interfere in the job of Charles Akonnor. Neither did I interfere in the job of Otto Addo… and neither did I interfere in the job of Mr. Chris Hughton,” he said during the GFA’s meeting with the press in Kumasi on Wednesday, February 7.
“They were our coaches and any other coach who will be hired by the Football Association will be given the freedom as always to deliver.”
Hughton was fired after Ghana was eliminated from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, finishing third in Group B with two points from three games.
The Ghana Football Association is presently looking for a successor for the Irish trainer, with the March international window coming up.
