In an exclusive interview on the maiden Hot fm sports, the former Black Stars forward Augustine Arhinful insisted the coach should come out to let Ghanaians understand his decision to maintain peace at camp.

“It’s important for C K to let Ghanaians know how he came up with the decision of the captains of the Black Stars.

“To avoid issues in camp, it’ll be good to explain why he named Andre Ayew, Thomas Partey and Richard Ofori.” He added.
