Whent it comes to Ghana, is like giving crocodile a large number of ship to take good care of in the water until you come back. This is completely stealing or looting from the nation. Regardless of the amount spent by America, Nigeria and so on, Why will Ghana spend 20 million dollars for the world cup? Where from the expensise? Haa!!. A total complete poor country to the grass where people can not afford to eat three square meals a day and they are goin to spend such a huge amount for world cup. WHAT!!!!!!!!.? At least It should have cost Ghana not more than 1 million.

Good morning SARPONG, as far as football tournaments and Ghana's participation are concerned, they have always been the best times for GFA and Ministry of Sports officials and politicians to create, loot and share and the 2014 World Cup would be no different. For some that would be their last opportunity whilst for others, this will be their first opportunity.
When it comes to Akua Densua taking her Secretary, Body Guard and Driver to South Africa, I applaud her for that. It does not matter who warms her bed for her but these are the people who will never have had that opportunity. I would have been worried if she had taken senior ministry officials. Though it may sound strange for the driver to go with her since his services were not needed in South Africa, he is also a tax payer.
I am not sure how Ghana justify the $20 million World Cup budget in the midst of bad economic indicators and the cedi spiralling out of control.

We complain when they dont do well and yet when things are being put in place to help the BS do well, we complain. 2M for any country is unrealistic. 20M maybe, just maybe too much but trust the US may end up spending more than Ghana. No one can go to the WC in Brazil on a 2M budget. Camping and travel cost for 30 people (23 players and 7 officials) and cost of logistics will be way more than 2M.

Mister, we spent $19.5 million in South Africa for players, officials and supposedly 1600 supporters who were promised $100 a day per diem excluding their hotel bills and plane tickets and you think a poor country like Ghana should continue on this course? 100 dollars a day for the 1600 supporters budgeted for but only 1000 were sent and you don't see anything wrong?
Some people in Ghana just need $100 as capital to take care of themselves and families and were are giving $100 a day to party foot soldiers most of them who don't even have jobs to spend in South Africa where even $5 a day is enough for food a day and you are supporting this corruption?
We deserve the kind of government we get when we have people thinking this way. Now we can compare ourselves to USA with a 4 trillion budget when ours is 15 billion dollars, a budget for a small city like Austin, Texas budget? C'mon.

Even though I do not support what Ghana govt is spending on the BS,I also do not believe the figures being provided by the press on other countries on their national teams budgets.How could a whole USA spend only $2M?

Why
Corruption is only killer killing all the black race but we turn blind eye to it and rather blaming the whites
Distance alone could make our budget higher. While I do not approve of wanton dissipation of funds, I think we need to subject the eventual budget to scrutiny on its own merit instead of the easy comparison with other associa ...

2M for the US is unrealistic. what can you do with 2M for 30 people in Brazil. Remember they also have to go to camp and play friendlies before the tournament. I think 20M if it can afforded is a good figure and with good tra ...

You can always count on idiots like this smelly Adongo or Atongo to crap stupidities when human beings are talking.
No Adongo wrote this. It was written by an anti Adongo just to flair up peoples anger.
I feel Ghanaians follow westerners blindly and even over do it. Oh Ghana. hmmm.
20m is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for poooooooooooooooooooooooooor Ghana
How much was spent in 2006?
Are you a dumb illiterate? Why don't you do your own research?

WHAT DO U EXPECT?THEY HAVE TO LOOT TO FINANCE 2016 ELECTIONS!!!
This is a blatant disrespect to the Ghanaian Nation. These so called ministers or government has no respect for Ghanaians. That is the gist of this.
An ingorant fool, who is very
good at pink shxxt and fabrications, nursing out his paid master's agenda and it is really unfortunate your easy go mind is receiving his wicked agenda..
GHANAIAN OFFICIALS SEES ANY GIVEN OPPPORNITY AS A WINDOW TO RAIN IN THE LOOT.NYANTAKYI IS EVERYWHERE,EVERYDAY POCKETING BONUSES,PER DIEM,COUNTLESS ALLOWANCES BUT NEVER SATISFIED.GOD SAVE GHANA & DAMN THESE NATION PREDATORS.
