That is why when I came and I saw the fat amount of money being spent on hotel accommodation for coaches I was upset. <br/><br/>So we can spend as much as thirty three thousand dollars, eight thousand dollars per month on accommodation. Really? This can’t happen. Let’s put a stop to this rot and we have done just that. </p><div class="imk300by250_container banner_wrapper IMKPanel"><!-- p>ADVERTISEMENT</p --> <div class="imk300by250 banner"> <div data-onpage=true data-adpath='/23135136485/GhanaWeb/mobMR2'></div> </div> </div><p>We have put up a residence for our coach and it’s going to be for both present and future coaches. But when we came there was nothing at the Ministry of Youth and Sports. In fact, the account was negative. We even had debts to pay. We are working hard and we are fixing all that ". <br/><br/>The sports minister also hinted that measures have been put in place to ensure that players or athletics representing the country are only paid in the local currency and with cheques. <br/><br/>“We all recall that embarrassment our country had to endure after transporting money on a plane to pay footballers and because of that we have started implementing the recommendations laid out in the white sheet. So now players are only paid in Ghana cedis, not dollars and nobody will be given physical cash. Bonuses will also be paid in cedis. What happened years ago, must never happen again.” <br/><br/><iframe src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/9aUNB20o-eqk5XVg5.html" class="gh-jwplayer" loading="lazy" width="100%" height="255px" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen style="position:relative; height:255px;>
