Government says Sulley Muntari needs NOT to apologize for World Cup barbaric act to be recalled into Black Stars
AC Milan ace Sulley Muntari is not required to apologize for his unruly behaviour at the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals before being re-admitted into the Black Stars, according to Government's White Paper.
According to to the White Paper, an apology should be a voluntary act of contrition on the player's part but no a requirement to return to the national team
It read: "Any apology from Mr. Sulley Muntari as recommended should be a voluntary act of contrition on his part but should not be made a condition for his recall into the team."
Muntari was suspended indefinitely from the national team after he punched a Black Stars management committee member Moses Armah without any provocation.
The Ghana FA told Muntari to grovel to the federation and the victim before being recalled but the 30-year-old has still not complied.
The World Cup Commission of Inquiry recommended three conditions as bases for Muntari’s re-invitation including seeing a psychologist for counseling and or undergo anger therapy.
- An unconditional apology to Mr. Moses Armah
- An unconditional apology to the President of the Republic of Ghana, the Commission and to Ghanaians in general.
- Referral to a psychologist for counseling and /or undergo anger therapy.

I simply can't come to terms with the gov't over this particular issue.Why should a player who has misbehaved himself in camp not be entitled to render an apology in the form of writing before he is accepted back into the team? The gov't wants to set a bad precedence which will come back to haunt us in the future. Other players in the team can also misbehave themselves in the future knowing that they will be accepted back into the team even without going through the appropriate steps of rendering apology.
