Who told the FA official and the players to leave their lucrative ventures to go to somebody's country. Honestly, I think you are a disappointment. Can you justify spending $8M on football that does not bring the country at the expense of people (human resources) dying at Korle-bu for preventable diseases? If the $8M is giving to doctors and teachers, I would never have any problem with that. Thank you Songo man. Expose them all. More fire!

Raymond you missed the point Ivory Coast can have luxury to do what they did having regard to their financial standing.Have heard of any dumsor and businesses on the verge of collapse in that country? The old adage says cut your coat according to your size. With the current economic situation can the country afford that? Please and please come again and be realistic.

How can you talk this way, were the government officials obliged to go to EQ? What good did their going do to the country? You should be asking yourself where the money that came from the tournament go to. If everybody works for money, every employer seeks productivity. In this case Ghanaians are the employers but we dont record any productivity from the GFA and the government save that of massive corruption unaccountability. God help us.

Are you also implying that every Ghanaian who leaves his work to go to the stadium to see the Black Stars played should be payed for it?

We have lost the honour and pride to serve the nation, for money. It is a privilege to be called to serve your nation not to come and chop money. Black Stars officials need to learn this. Where is the honour and where is the pride for being called to represent or serve the nation?

Try working for free in the name of honour and pride and see if you will be able to feed yourself and your family. Typical Ghanians mentality. You want the players to perform well but you don't want to reward them when they ...

Try working for free in the name of honour and pride and see if you will be able to feed yourself and your family. Typical Ghanians mentality. You want the players to perform well but you don't want to reward them when they exceed all expectations. A country of ungrateful people.

You still don't get it. A national team is different from playing for your club. Being called to represent your nation and wear the national colours is a privilege and honour not everybody gets. You make your money at your club and you come to represent your nation against other nations.

It is only in Ghana or should I say Africa where politicians are richer than business men and enterpreneurs. How rich is Obama compared to Bill Gates or the Google founders. We have lost our priorities as africans.

It is the existence of journalist like you in Ghana that is why we are where we are. Nobody is saying people should not be paid or the expenditure was too high. The money is public money and therefore whenever public funds are spent, the one who is responsible for spending it should give detailed account to support the expenditure. If that is not so then every citizen could go to bank of Ghana to request to be given any amount from the state coffers to spend as he/ she wishes. In the media outfit you work for, whenever you take company money to spend you make a requisition for the money and you bring receipts to justify the expenditure. What we are asking for is not the justification as to whether the expenditure was wise or not. We are asking for accountability, and I think as leaders of the country they owe the citizens that obligation to account. If you cannot account then the presumption is that you have embezzled the funds and that you did not use it properly. Get off your horse and think properly like a citizen should. On the other hand if you have been bribed then keep quite and chop you ill gotten wealth.
