Friday Debate: Is money the only motivation for Black Stars to win AFCON?

The government has come under a lot of heat after the announcement of the proposed 25- million- dollar budget for the Black Stars’ AFCON and FIFA World Cup campaigns.

The announcement of the budget was made by President Nana Addo Danakwa Akufo-Addo at a breakfast meeting with some state institution heads and officials some days ago.

The President promised that the government will provide $10million and urged corporate Ghana to help the Black Stars with the remaining $15million.

Since the announcement, there has been a lot of backlash from Ghanaians with many citing the development as a wrong priority and a wrong move in an era of COVID-19.

The critics have wondered why the government thinks that the only way for the Black Stars to win the AFCON is to give them fat budgets for tournaments.
