Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Nana Obiri Boahen has questioned why the head of the senior men's national team the Black Stars should be paid in dollars.

According to him the figures are prohibitive considering it is the state the pays the Black Stars coach and not from the coffers of the GFA.

The Black Stars coach takes home a monthly salary of $25,000 which is $10,000 less than his predecessor Kwasi Appiah.

“Honestly, speaking that money is a big money. We need people who are bold. We must be bold to call a spade a spade Why are we even quoting his salary in dollars since we are told not to trade in the country in that currency?

“I think they are not being fair to us at all. A good number of people running football in Ghana are suffering, you can ask Grusah. I’m saying that even the likes of Kwame Kyei who have money will tell you how difficult it is to run the football here.

Boahen also questioned why the Sports Ministry is paying Akonnor in dollars because according to him, it is against the law.

“It’s against the law to pay CK Akonnor in dollars, and secondly when you convert that $25,000 its big money and a good number of coaches will take that money," he added.
