I don't see how those who want to watch the black stars in brazil should be paid for by the govt.those who want to go to brazil should be able to pay their own way.Govt should stay out of it.

I KNOW THIS E.T. MENSAH'S SON VERY WELL. HE WAS DEPORTED FROM THE U.S. AFTER DUPING A NIGERIAN WOMAN SHE DUPED INTO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. NO WONDER HE HAS FOUND HIS WAY INTO THE SPORT MINISTRY TO DO WHAT HIS FATHER KNOWS TO DO BEST--RAPE THE NATION. HE THOUGH HE COULD DISGUISE HIMSELF BY ADDING NUNOO TO HIS NAME. WHERE DOES GHANA GET THESE CRIMINALS FROM AT ALL?

Waste of resources. Why should 500 NDC foot soldiers be flown to Brazil at the country's expense? Let them foot their own bills as we here in Europe and America are going to do.

You should be dropped from this site. You have nothing to offer except undermine the young players and the coach. You are an evil to the progress of Ghana.

If we can raise that amount should the priority be to spend it on able bodied men and women to go to Brazil to watch soccer.This shows where our priorities lie. We are not able to mobilize and raise the needed funds to clean Accra of filth and yet we are able to do so to send men and women some of who sleep in uncompleted buildings to go and watch soccer matches in Brazil.Priority Priority Priority.

You erroneously claim that the US government is sending 120,000 supporters to Brazil. You shouldn't be writing about things you know nothing about. You cannot possibly live in the US, if you aren't aware that the US government does not pay for individuals to go cheer the USA team in Brazil. Get a clue and stop spreading wrong information.

No one should contribute. How many of these supporters will be from the Ministers kitchen? We are not at the world cup yet but some people's belly has swollen. They are struggling to walk. Somebody ask the Minister what expertise Larry Acheampong and folks like him have to sit on subcommittees, take plenty per diem ,and travel with tax payers money to Brazil at will?
No company should be fooled into contributing. It will be another jolly ride for Larry Acheampong and his folks. Naniama

Government should not spend even a pesewa to sponsor supporters to Brazil, whoever wants to go should pay himself there. No nation in the world will sponsor supporters just to cheer their players -name any if you know, except maybe an African country who do not know their priorities. When the African cup of Nations was staged in Ghana some years back, Ghana was supported by 24 million citizens yet it was won by Egypt. Supporters do not win matches but the players. They should rather give the money to sponsor the supporters to the Black Stars in order to motivate them to win the cup. Sponsoring supporters is just a waste of time and money and it should be STOPPED.

Ghana Airways would have transported the team and fans and we would have retained some of the money in Ghana. Capital flight. Where is the national Airline? Bring it up without further delay.

First it was sending people to religious program in Mecca. Then sending Pastors to teh Holy Land. Now it is sending people to WATCH football. Why can't we draw the line that individuals have their own responsibilities and not up to the Government to sponsor anybody to these trips? Even the RICH countries do not do this. Don't tell me Germany and the other European countries do not support their team becasue they do not pay for people to go to games !!!!!
