Even though I do not support what Ghana govt is spending on the BS,I also do not believe the figures being provided by the press on other countries on their national teams budgets.How could a whole USA spend only $2M?
Good morning SARPONG, as far as football tournaments and Ghana's participation are concerned, they have always been the best times for GFA and Ministry of Sports officials and politicians to create, loot and share and the 201 ...

Why
Corruption is only killer killing all the black race but we turn blind eye to it and rather blaming the whites
Distance alone could make our budget higher. While I do not approve of wanton dissipation of funds, I think we need to subject the eventual budget to scrutiny on its own merit instead of the easy comparison with other associa ...

2M for the US is unrealistic. what can you do with 2M for 30 people in Brazil. Remember they also have to go to camp and play friendlies before the tournament. I think 20M if it can afforded is a good figure and with good tra ...

You can always count on idiots like this smelly Adongo or Atongo to crap stupidities when human beings are talking.
No Adongo wrote this. It was written by an anti Adongo just to flair up peoples anger.
I feel Ghanaians follow westerners blindly and even over do it. Oh Ghana. hmmm.
20m is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for poooooooooooooooooooooooooor Ghana
How much was spent in 2006?
Are you a dumb illiterate? Why don't you do your own research?

WHAT DO U EXPECT?THEY HAVE TO LOOT TO FINANCE 2016 ELECTIONS!!!
This is a blatant disrespect to the Ghanaian Nation. These so called ministers or government has no respect for Ghanaians. That is the gist of this.
An ingorant fool, who is very
good at pink shxxt and fabrications, nursing out his paid master's agenda and it is really unfortunate your easy go mind is receiving his wicked agenda..
GHANAIAN OFFICIALS SEES ANY GIVEN OPPPORNITY AS A WINDOW TO RAIN IN THE LOOT.NYANTAKYI IS EVERYWHERE,EVERYDAY POCKETING BONUSES,PER DIEM,COUNTLESS ALLOWANCES BUT NEVER SATISFIED.GOD SAVE GHANA & DAMN THESE NATION PREDATORS.
