SINCE WCUP 2010 IN SOUTH AFRICA. THE GFA HAS CONTINUALLY ENGAGED IN MISREPRESENTING FIGURES ACCUMMULATED FROM FRIENDLIES, FROM FIFA, CAF ETC N HAVE PAID LESS TAXES AS WELL. SPORTS MINISTRY'S MANDATE IS TO INVEST IN SPRTS INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE COUNTRY. GFA HAS A MANDATE OF MANAGING ALL THE NATIONAL TEAMS. U CAN GO FOR A LOAN FROM A BANK OR THE GH GOVT, U GET MONIES FROM FIFA, U GET MONIES FROM CAF. U GET MONIES FROM SPONSORS N EVEN GNPC. WHY DO U STILL NEED MONEY FROM THE SPORTS MINISTRY? DONT GIVE THEM A PENNY....MANAGE THE NATIONAL TEAMS LIKE A BUSINESS, A FOR PROFIT MAKING ENTERPRISE AND IF U CANT DO THIS N RAISE UR OWN REVENUE TO SUPPORT THE NATIONAL TEAMS THEM STEP OFF...DO U SEE KOTOKO OR HEARTS ASKING GOVT FOR MONEY? NYANTAKYI IS MILKING GH DR N ITS TIME HE IS KILLED LIKE A FUCKING STRAY DOG.

THE GOVT OF GH MUST AND SHOULD NEVER ENGAGE IN THE HABIT OF PAYING FOR THE EXPENSES OF THE VARIOUS NATIONAL TEAMS. YOUR MANDATE MUST BE TO USE STATE RESOURCES TO DEVELOP, BUILD AND REHAB SPORTS INFRASTRUCTURES IN THE COUNTRY. GFA MUST USE REVENUE GENERATING METHODS AND BUSINESS ACUMENT TO RUN OR NATIONAL TEAMS. THATS WHY FIFA WANTS NO GOVT INTEFERENCE. IF GFA CANT DO THIS JOB, THEN THE PROPRIETORS MUST STEP DOWN N LET PPL WITH BUSINESS SENSE TAKE OVER N MANAGE THESE NATIONAL TEAMS...AH! IF U GIVE ME THE JOB I CAN RUN IT WELL. GFA IS ALSO SHORTCHANGING GHPPL. THEY ALWAYS LIE TO THE STATE. THEY DONT PAY THE REQUISITE TAXES...FROM MONIES ACQUIRED FROM FRIENDLIES...

This Sports Minster appears to be addicted to
publicity gimmicks as a way of rraising his own
personal profile. It is clear he sees the GFA as
political opponents and as such sees his role
with the football association as an adversarial
one. This is very unfortunate and dangerous
and needs to stop now.

Such Administrative buffoonery,

'Black Stars players would receive a befitting bonus and a package that his ministry can afford,'. The wisdom is, do not promise, if you do not have it. If you have it, budget with it, be specific and ensure that you deliver; to avoid future conflicts.

All readers should know that these are signs of people with fermented and smouldering smoking brains that end up as failures.

That money should be given to the poor and not people who didn't even complain about the pay they receive. You people are not helping the Country at all, visit the villages and see how people are suffering. Even pesewa for Koko they don't even have. Leaders of Ghana please help the Country. Giving money to people who already have is stupidity. please save the country and forget about giving BONUSES to players who are been paid weekly in their club teams.

Too much money is wasted on footballand footballers!!! Stop this. It only appeals to men as fans. The teams are expensive to travel around and now they want bonuses and all this is supposed to be supported by the government which is not feasible. Why does the GFA not raise its own money like other countries' federations. Why should they be paid any bonuses? What about other sports. There is a better return on investment in supporting specific athletes and specific sports rather than putting all the budget in the hands of footballers, and football administrative people. It's not right or fair. The Ministry of YOUTH AND SPORTs is for all youth and all sports not just football.
