So why can't the Association foot that bill? Coaches and other girlfriends would have been catered for. Ghana, oh Ghana! The end of athletics is here!

Ghana should have paid for the ticket not the parent.After all is she not running for Ghana.If people who have not business with the team get paid to go to these games why can't they paid the bill.

What is this thing with people not wanting to acknowledge progress? On Happy FM, yesterday they said 12 juniors qualified last year but 7 go because of visa delay. They also said it is the highest number of athletes ghana has ever sent to the world juniors. SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Shame Mahama. Why should parents sponsor themselves to support their children when the children are representing Ghana.

The bane of Gh Athletics Asso could be traced to its inefficient chairman Francis Dodoo or what they call him. Until the association mbrs get rid of him, nothing good should be expected

Bawa Fuseini, please did you think through this before selling it to Ghanaians? This young lady is not supposed to travel with her parents when she is on national assignment but an official of the responsible association, so to say her parents couldn't raise the money is neither here nor there.

Citi FM reported that authrities (i don't know if GAA or international federation) only pays for athletes not family members. WHICH NATIONAL ASSOCIATION PAYS TICKETS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS OF ATHLETES? I am not saying family members can't go. The question is who is responsible for paying if family members want to go?

We have been sending two officials per athlete to the Olympic games but we can't send only one official to go with this girl? Shame on us.

This is absulute trash and shameful. To say that Ghana could not raise the said amount for the parents to travel with their daughter to bring honour to ghana is shameful and distraceful to the entire nation. You no why? because this is not going to benefit Vampires up there. If they had told, i would have personally paid for their ticket and their expenses. So ghana, for one year could not advertise for people to donatye funds to help the perants. How on earth were they expecting them to raise $3000 when Gov't is making life unbearable for the average ghanaian. Shameful to even publish this.
