ACCRA, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Ghanaian government Tuesday night responded to FIFA's threats to ban Ghana over state interference, saying the decision to liquidate the GFA was to protect the interest of the public while fighting against corruption in football administration.

It is therefore seeking a dialogue with the world football governing body to settle the impasse.

In a letter signed by Isaac Kwame Asiamah, Minister for Youth and Sports, the Ghanaian government said it was not interested in interferring with the administration of football in Ghana save to enforce domestic laws and to ensure that the game was devoid of corruption and other forms of illegality.

"It is our further understanding that FIFA remains committed to purging football administration in Ghana of corruption and related criminal conduct, which objective is in accord with that of the Ghanaian government," the letter said.

"From the foregoing and given the totality of the circumstances, the government of Ghana is desirous of further engagements with FIFA. We believe that the Ghanaian government and FIFA should meet at our earliest mutually acceptable route to achieving our common goal."

The government initiated processes to dissolve the GFA after investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas uncovered widespread rot in football management in Ghana.

Over 70 referees were caught on tape allegedly taking bribes to fix matches.
