Nii Lamtey wanted the whole world know that they have done very very well by which he is using the word "slashed" but could have better have used "trimmed", a moderate word to erase mistrust.

How much of the budget goes to the UAE camping? Could the Stars have camped somewhere in Africa that has a shared climatic conditions? Couldn't have the money be pumped into a African country to support their economy? Why do always borrow money from foreign countries and turn around to dish out the money to same foreign countries by lavish living in those countries, individual and personal property acquisition; expensive medical costs, expensive vacations?

We dont need to leave above our standard. Why did,nt train in ghana Just to economise the huge expenses? I dont think there is any need to train outside the ghana before the the tournament . Waste of money.

Waste of money. Is only Africa that government don't invest money rather than wasted it. How foolish is our thinking.

Does anyone know whether Ghana will be releasing their new away kit or are they going to use the same one from last year?

CAF is getting paid for TV Rights to the Tournament.

e should be paid not less than 4million by CAF for our appearance.

I don't see why Govt should be putting a penny into football when playing AFCON is self-financing through TV Rights paid to CAF.

The money should better be used n other less funded Sports such as Track and Field.

Where are our Sprinters and the todays Alice Anum. Ghaisah has to naturalise as a Dutch to secure his future pension.

Why should we be investing in football when it is self-financing!

At Ty my brother don't forget that we've already spent no less than $5m on the 6 qualifying series, so in a nutshell the nation is shelling out no less than $8m on this year's AFCON. And even if we win the total prize money is about $4m. I rest my case.

This minister should be thanked for saving Ghana millions of dollars that could have easily gone into the hands of the armed robbers at the GFA.

The budget is still high. They should have camped somewhere in West Africa to reduce cost. Please we need money to support our economy. It's only in African corrupt countries that our national teams drain our economy. Please Football people look for sponsors to support your budget. Because the Government of the day has other pressing issues to attend to. That's why Ghana national teams are losing support or fans.

It is ridicuolous that the Football association gets away swith so much high way robbery. they just pump up the budgets and hold the country to ransome because football is popular but they slash so much of these millions for themselves. the Minister was the only one who dared stand up to the corrupt system as it stands at present. It's back to the good old days now I imagine. too bad. Sports will always suffer until this aspect of sports ie the footbll is cleaned up because they take all the money for sports and youth development budget. it's about time it was cleaned up so that all youth could benefit not just some overpaid footballers and their fat cat management.

Ghanaians should wake up and never allow the NDC to come near the seat of government anymore. They (AFRC/P-NDC) killed Ghanaians for what they described as having indulged in Kalabule and graft. But now everyone had seen the kind of corruption and thievery that took place in their time is simply indescribable! All contracts and development projects have been sole sourced allowing them over-price contact bills. But they will rather cut training/camping budgets of our Black Stars and Womens Team complaining of lack of funds and corruption at the GFA. It's very sad to note. NDC is full of criminals and Ghanaians music watch out! Now they are talking about regrouping to launch another campaign for 2020. Very interesting to note! They will fail miserably, because Ghanaians are wide awake and won't allow criminals and murderers to rule over the nation.
