    A very controversial move by the government, what about the Ghanaians Embassies around the globe.

    The boys are doing international job for the country and they should be honoured with international currency, period aaaba!

  • Chiga 10 years ago

    The black stars should be paid in cedis in Brazil? or they should open the cedis accounts and draw them in cedis from their international bases?
    I think the best would have been to quote their bonuses in cedis but pay them t ...

    Folks let's leave politics aside and be real. Ghana's system is totally messed up and it's about time we cleaned it up. Why live in Ghana and purchase stuff in dollars? Every sector that earn wages in dollars should be scrap ...

    You are a government and your aim is to develop POLICIES, pursue strategic and tactical goals in moving the nation forward in all phases. Think and implement stuff from a 10,000 foot eye view instead of chasing trivial specif ...

    then FIFA should pay us in cedis that is all? then our Cedi will be powerful than the Dollar!!
    This a joke eh?

  • POW@ Brazil b3y3 huhuu hu 10 years ago

    It can't be a joke of the year, it's real. FIFA pays every country in dollars but the nations involved pay their players in their own national currencies except for most 3rd world countries. The reason why it's becoming a big ...

  • Mr. N 10 years ago

    The directive should have applied to everyone. All the consultants working in Bank of Ghana, MOFEP, Mining and Oil and Gas are not paying taxes either.

    If it about taxes the government would take the tax off the bonuses we ...

    You're perfectly right my brother.

  • Nana Banyin 10 years ago

    Do the Ghanaian foreign-base players pay taxes to Ghana? If they do, in what currency ?

  • ffonky 10 years ago

    If all payments are to be issued in Cedis then no exceptions are to be made here too.

    Let´s all try to understand the situation the country facing now.

    I hope in other fields this will be practice as well.

    The government also has to do his part by stopping wasteful spending and syphoning money etc and stop paying other organizations too in dollars. Every institution quoting money in dollars should stop or be penalized.

    The economic meltdown you are talking is not due to football it due to the fact when people used the state funds to bail out their brothers and sister where on earth would be walking free and still own your private jet when ...

    I support the president's idea. I believe this is part of the measures to arrest the down fall of our daily used currency. The bonuses been paid to our athletes must be in our local cedis as other countries pay theirs. This i ...

    I am surprised President Mahamah has directed that henceforth players’ bonuses must be paid in cedis. Does he really think stopping payment of dollars to our sportsmen and women can go a long way to help increase the flow o ...

    I am surprise you think some people should be exempted from the Bank of Ghana's directive. Your argument is so hollow. You think because the national sports personnel do not spent 30 million dollars a year so they should be e ...

    I do not see why Black Stars players should have psychological stress because they are to be paid in their own country's currency? Why is it that Nurses and Teachers don't get psychological stress for receiving their salaries ...
