GFA and Mahama's Government all budget in dollars. Fifa money to the world cup would be paid in dollars, all gates and appearance fees would be paid in dollars what the hell you have to pay them their bonuses in Cedis if the cedis would be paired to the dollar that would make sense.
We going back to 80s and 90s when promised winning bonuses are never paid what assurance do they have that the money would be deposit into the account.
This is the same reason that complies Coach Bukhard Ziese demanded that promised winning bonuses should be carried in cash.

FIFA pays the nation for all her support and preparation towards the world cup and so on in dollars. Remember when FIFA is yet to pay any money, it's the government that pays the players. It'll be nice to pay the players in dollars but it's not right since cedi is our rightful currency. The players have to get cedis and if they need dollars, they can purchase it from the banks or forex bureau's aka "folex bellows" so they can be taxed. It's a way of making money for the nation and adding jobs. You can't tell me England pay their players in dollars, not even in euros but pounds because that's their currency and we have to do same. I support the idea. The players might not like it but they'll get used to it later on in life. Amen

The directive is discriminatory they are picking on certain sector. The directive should have direct that all institutions should paid any one working for them in cedis including hotels, car rental and house rental. If you are working as a consultant for any of oil or mining and government agencies they pay you in dollars you are living and working in Ghana. You can't work in Canada and expect to be paid in USA dollars nor work in Germany and be paid in cedis even though you a Ghanaian.
I do not think the coach is paid in cedis because the coach's family do not living in Ghana how is he able to support them.

Does Mahama want Kevin Prince Boateng, Dede Ayew, Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari, John Boye and all foreign-based players to receive cedis, go to the banks or forex bureau for exchange? I just can't understand this clueless man. He better inform Brazilian govt. that Ghana doesn't have dollars so we will only pay our bills in cedis.

These players are Ghanaians and NOT foreign nationals so why pay them in dollars? Their cedis payout can be converted into dollars for them through their banks if they want.
good show mr president............well done,they have enough dollars and euros.there are other measures you can put in place too........go ahead.
Where the dollar is the money? This man is clueless. FIFA will pay them in dollars. I think there has to be exception to the rule. At least not for the world cup.
If that's the case, then all import duty should be measured in cedis
The chips are falling into its rightful places. Well done Mr president

THIS WOMANIZER WOULD PRETEND TO CARE MORE ABOUT SOCCER THAN THE COUNTRY OF GHANA. HE THINKS WINNING A SOCCER CUP WILL ERASE HIS RECORD OF INCOMPETENCE
AND INADEQUACY AS THE CHIEF MANAGER OF THE COUNTRY.

Does the president realize that most of these players work overseas and that the Ghana cedi is not legal tender overseas? If you want to pay them in local currency, then use only local players who can spend that money at Kok ...

The President is not asking the Black Stars to build a nuclear power plant. Convert your Cedi - the legal tender in Ghana - bonus payment into whatever legal tender you plan on using overseas.
I came home for a visit and the hotel charged me in dollars.
Please focus on real issues instead of dabbling in side shows. What a good way to inspire your players by paying them in a sinking currency. Penny wise, pound foolish.
pay all foreign ministers the same cedis including yourseif and things will be okay.
also stop spending money on people like national team drummers, pips, single mothers as bed warmers in the name of cheering the blackstars
The presidential order must only be seen as a knee-jerk measure.
Back it up with LAW by Parliament that no business transaction in Ghana shall be conducted in any currency other than the cedi.
You must change all your c ...

John Mahama is pathetic! He can't see his way clearly and can only resort to making such bogus decisions. Does he want to say all our national players should quit using dollars or foreign money?
Mahama should be asked: wh ...

Wonderful! Your name fits you very well. Get a life; Ghana isn't tribal people like Rawlings and Mahama. You seem to be wise. While everyone is complaining in their sufferings, when everything continue to fall apart as a resu ...

The daft President is destroying all the past gains instead of maintaining or creating opportunities for the future. It is strange his experience as vice president is not showing any promise or confidence in him. Ghanaians mu ...

Where will the players keep the millions of Ghana Cedi? In their pocket or trunk or coffin or "Please House Owner help me to drop my load"? Which one? I regret to be a Ghanaian.
