You think the US players playing in England are paid bonuses in pounds by the National Team? Do you think European players playing in US are paid in USD by their national teams? So dreaming about stupid analogies. The Former minister is right.
They should be paid in Cedis. Let them convert it to whatever currency suits them best on their own.

Master, you didn’t get the sports minister please keep mute on sports a little. Even Sammy Gyamfi is given dollars to local people unlike paying foreign players. Keep mute and leave the minister to work

That's a wise one from the great man. Ghana must depend on her currency to strengthen it.

Absolute Nonsense. A country strenghten's its currency by generating more foreign reserves through increased productivity and exports, and therefore able to exchange its local currency on the cheap with the foreign currency, and not by paying its professional soccer players with local currency. How about FIFA also paying the country in cedis after international tournaments? How about politicians receiving their 'per diems' in cedis?

Where is the wisdom in this? How much do these players earn on average for their services to the nation? Pittance! Taking a lot of factors into consideration.
PLEASE DONT USE THE WORD," GREAT", Loosely!

Solid advice. They are paid salaries in their clubs most probably in the currency there, we only give them allowances to use while here so why pay them in USD? If they want to send some out, they should do proper transfer through their banks. This is the way developed countries control their currencies.

Nii you are on point. When they are travelling their per diem can be paid in dollars but their bonus should be paid in cedis after all most of our players are in Europe and uk
