Scandal! Government blows almost $1million on supporters in Côte d’Ivoire…set to blow more millions if…
[ad_1]
The government of Ghana, through the sports Ministry, has blown a fortune at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
The Sports Ministry has spent a minimum of $800,000 on supporters who travelled to Côte d’Ivoire for AFCON 2023.
Grape vine sources have confirmed that the Ministry paid each supporter a honorarium of $400.
On Wednesday, a press conference addressed by the leadership of the supporters confirmed they had received the said amount from the Sports Ministry.
An unspecified amount is said to have been spent on accommodation for some stranded supporters in Côte d’Ivoire.
This has been the practise since Ghana qualified for the FIFA World Cup in 2006.
The Commission’s recommendations were subsequently adopted and a white paper was issued by the then John Mahama government.
