Ghana Football Association vice president George Afriyie says the federation will not kick against any move by government to cut the winning bonuses of the Black Stars if things are done properly.

But he wants the right procedure to be employed to get the players understand and not a take-it-or-leave-it.

Previous attempts to slash the bonuses have been resisted fiercely by the players and talks have often ended in deadlocks.

New Sports Minister has been quoted as describing the payment structure as senseless and said he would cut the US$ 10,000 winning bonus because government is broke.

"Slashing is not a problem but the idea of take-it-or-leave-it by some government officials in the past won't work," Afriyie, who doubles as Black Stars Management Committee member, said.
