Government To Begin Outstanding Bonus Payments On Tuesday

The Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuje has assured all the national teams of Ghana, that the ministry is putting in place the necessary mechanisms to ensure that all outstanding bonuses are cleared, with the first installment expected to be paid on Tuesday.

The minister revealed this new arrangement when he met reporters on Monday.

The government of Ghana owes the various national teams thousands of dollars in outstanding bonus and it will be recalled that, the Black Queens threatened to quit playing for the country after their bonus row with government last September.

But per what the Minister, Nii Lantey Vanderpuije said, all that will soon be a thing of the past starting Tuesday March 29, 2016.

” We will settle all the outstanding debts very soon. We will pay the Black Stars, Black Queens, Black Maidens and all the youth teams. By Tuesday, some payments will be made to the teams,” Nii Lante Vanderpuije disclosed.

In a related development, SportsCrusader.com can confirm that, the Minister is yet to officially announce the new bonus package for the Black Stars despite reaching an agreement with the playing body over a 20% cut.
