The Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports is unaware of the budget for the Black Stars’ games against Chad and Madagascar, despite President Mahama’s promise of transparency.
The committee has only received information about coach and player salaries - Vincent Ekow Assafuah said in an interview.
"We are not aware of the full budget for the Black Stars as we speak. The only information that has been provided to the committee is the breakdown of salaries for the coaches and staff, such as the assistant coaches and team managers. These details were made available, but the actual budget for the games has not been shared with us,” Assafuah who is a committee member explained.
Adding that, “This promise isn’t anything groundbreaking. In previous administrations, ministries and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have always disclosed the amount of money spent on the Black Stars after matches have been played. So, the real change would be if the government starts disclosing the budget before the matches take place."
