The Presidential Commission of Inquiry set up by President John Dramani Mahama to investigate the Black Stars’ chaotic FIFA World Cup campaign in Brazil will commence work at the Media Centre of the Accra Stadium at 10.am today.
The inaugural sitting will be chaired by Appeal Court Judge Justice Senyo Dzamefe with support from the two members of the commission, Moses Foh-Amoaning and Kofi Anokye Owusu Darko.
The much-awaited sitting is expected to attract a huge crowd as some of the stakeholders who played a major role in the Stars’ participation before, during and after the tournament are summoned to testify before the commission.
The three-member commission organised two separate seminars for the media in Accra and Kumasi last Thursday and Friday respectively to educate journalists on media law and defamation.
The commission will be operating under the powers of a High Court in accordance with Articles 278, 279 and 280 of the 1992 Constitution and, therefore, could cite people for contempt, among others.
