Sports Minister-designate, Nii Lante Vanderpuije says monies will not be airlifted to pay players of the any of the national teams under his administration as the sports minister.
In 2014 the President John Mahama authorized a flight of over $4 million to Brazil for the payment of Black Stars’ 2014 World Cup appearance fees after reports emanated that the was unrest in camp.
The President later set up a commission to inquire the cause of the unrest, and the committee which was led by Justice Dzamefe sent its findings and recommendations to the president.
A White Paper on the Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry recommended that monies should not be flown to any tournament for the payment of remuneration of national teams or persons.
And Vanderpuije, the former Deputy Local Government Minister, has no intentions of flouting Mahama’s order published in the White Paper.
“I have no problem with the GFA and don’t think I will have problems with the GFA. Under my watch, we will never airlift monies to pay bonuses of national teams. Anyone who does that will have a problem with me,” he told Happy FM.
The Black Stars has outstanding bonus for the 2018 World Cup qualifying win over Comoros yet to be settled, and should he occupy the office and the money is not paid before March 25 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mozambique, the Sports Ministry will not fly cash to Maputo during the second leg.
