The head coach of Nsoatreman Football Club, Maxwell Konadu has been linked to work with the new Black Stars head coach.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is currently in search of a new tactician to take charge of the country’s male senior national team.

The association only last month sacked the head coach for the side, coach Chris Hughton after the Black Stars failed to advance to the knockout stage of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.

As the search for the new head coach continues, sources have indicated that Coach Maxwell Konadu will be assigned to deputise the new tactician when he is appointed.

In the past, the former Asante Kotoko coach worked as an assistant coach for the Black Stars from 2014 to 2019.

At the end of this week, the five-member committee tasked by the Ghana FA to find a new head coach for the Black Stars will present their report to the Executive Council.

It is expected that before February ends, the Ghana FA will announce the new head coach to the public.

Several reports suggest that former Black Stars gaffer Otto Addo is leading the race to become the next head coach.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has reassured the public that the missing Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) Kits cannot be utilised to access its system or data.

According to Dr Eric Bossman Asare, the BVRs, which include a laptop, are ineffective on their own and can only be activated by the EC.

Thus, they pose no threat to the integrity of elections, he stated.

Additionally, they cannot be used to register anyone during the ongoing limited voter registration exercise nor do they contain any sensitive data from the EC’s system, he said in an interview with JoyNews’ Evans Mensah.

Dr Bossman Asare stated, “The laptops on their own are insignificant. They are just like the laptops you use at your workplace. We’ve accounted for every single device that we’re going to be using.

“In 2020, when we did the registration, we bought 8,500 of the registration devices. We are not using all of them in this registration.”

“So that means the ones we are using now, we still have some there. So are you saying the EC will come and tell the Ghanaian people that five laptops are missing and we want to use those laptops to register people? Who in the EC is going to do that?” he quizzed.
