"TRUST" for Ghanaian officials is barely in existence, because of CORRUPTION (long hands), ARROGANCE & RECKLESSNESS. My fear is they will go there and MESS UP things for the STARS and our country.

Honestly, it's quite unnecessary for the government to WASTE scarce resources on the semi-final, RATHER than on the actual FINAL—if the Stars were to qualify. This’s too much HYPE!! Why not spend those funds on the Orphanage in Bawjiase.

These “puffed up ugly dressing Negroes" can't kick a football for 20 feet on level ground and they've no damn business being given that preferential treatment. I would have preferred if the government was "jetting" down to Equatorial Guinea REAL football supporters to CHEER our players, rather than mostly WASTED old men and women, who know nothing but stealing. WHAT'S A WASTE, NEGRO GOVERNMENT!!

In and out tickets for semi finals,if the team qualifies for the finals another batch would go may be with the whole government,some traditional rulers like Kwaku Duah a.k.a Osei Tetu and a host of others who create loot and share. My advise to this government is; stay on till sunday or saturday for the 3rd position,this can save us some cedis to buy crude oil for our plants. After all we prefer you stay outside Ghana than in Ghana idle.

Their attendance will not impact on the stars performance so they should just stay put and work rather than rushing on foreign trips.

If indeed the news item is true then l'm tempted to believe that our politcal leadership have become nothing but cancerous cells bent on feeding fat on the national kitty without any feeling of shame or responsibility whatsoever and have become so blocked headed that they have lost their presence of mind to realized that this continuing behaviour has become such a sordid nuisance, very despicable and highly irresponsible at a time when there is more pressing national issues begging serious attention like this frustrating and erratic power supply, the unbridle stealing of public money @ corruption, the largely gurgisberg economy with its attendant soaring unemployment numbers and uncontrolled importation of anything into our country, it beats one's imagination that in the light of all these government or its appointees appears to be in a different world altogether and have tacitly endorsed and entered into a pact to recklessly appropriate public funds with impunity, chasing pleasure everywhere at our expense. after the disgraceful Brazilian debacle, we do not appear to learn anything from our past mistakes and keep on deliberately committing same errors again and again.. what a shame, this bonfoon called ayariga and co..

I hate to agree but I think this makes sense if the above plan is true. This is a high profile, international event where the government of Ghana should be represented at a senior level. I would suggest that the VP be on the plane with a small entourage. They are not even staying overnight but doing a day trip.

This is FAR FAR FAR better than sending down a few plane loads of NDC supporters (disguised as Ghana supporters) for a week of fun. Paying accommodation. Paying ground transport. Paying per diem. etc etc etc. Maybe the NDC supporters won't want to go since it's not attractive to apply for asylum in Equitorial Guinea??

Profligacy when we should be tightening our belts and putting the brakes on unnecessary waste. When are the vultures in government going to learn. The money to be wasted can f provide dinner for more than a thousand hungry Ghanaians. Why do we tolerate these scavengers who can't hunt but feed on our carcasses. The World Cup was not enough disgrace and warning for them. It's about time to boot their asses out of power and free ourselves forever. In just 2 years we will be free at last.
