One of the startling revelations at the Presidential Commission of Inquiry on Friday, was the payment of appearance fee to members of the Black Stars management committee during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Prosper Apasu, Chief Accountant of the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MOYS) on Friday, told the Presidential Commission of Inquiry investigating Ghana’s participation at the 2014 Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) World Cup that, each member of the Management Committee of the Black Stars took an appearance fee of 82,500USD during the World Cup.
He said unlike the players and technical team, who took 100,000 USD each, the seven members of the Management Committee of the GFA took 82,500 USD which was agreed by cabinet.
The seven-member Management Committee was headed by Kwasi Nyantakyi- President of the GFA and chairman of the Committee, with Felix Ansong, Kwame Ofosu Bamfo, Yaw Boateng Gyan, Moses Armah, Emmanuel Kyeremeh and Fred Crenstil.
The revelation goes contrary to reports that, members of the Black Stars management committee did not benefit from the appearance fee.
It would be recalled that, the payment of appearance fee was one of the issues that caused confusion in the camp of the Black Stars during the World Cup.
