Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has denied allegations that the government provides the FA with money.
In recent years, the FA has been accused of inflating tournament budgets for personal gain.
However, the FA boss, Okraku during a Parliamentary Select Committee hearing on Monday made it clear that the GFA has no control over finances related to national teams.
“For the record, the government of Ghana doesn’t give GFA any money. The Ministry of Youth and Sports funds national team-related activities. No money comes into the GFA’s coffers from the government,” Okraku said.
Mr Okraku also explained that the Sports Ministry takes care of all financial aspects, including budgets and payments for tournaments and qualifiers. An accountant from the Ministry oversees these costs, with the GFA having no involvement.
“Monies used for national teams are paid to the Ministry of Youth and Sports. They make all statutory payments. No cedi comes to the FA,” Okraku added.
