The Government should pay him his $50,000 that was used to import "ESSENTIAL COMMODITIES" during the Acheampong regime. That will go a long way.

Poison is now poor and begging for money as a result of mismanagement. A lesson for the up and coming!!

The fact that DK Poison is being given a $4,800 grant speaks of his financial woes. Boxers in particular are notorious for squandering the money they earn from fighting and end up being broke. Hopefully, this money will help DK Poison maintain a decent life style.

I am afraid Bukum Banku will be in a mess financially in future because of his current life style.

Good suggestion, but Sulley was African champ and Commonwealth champ.

He was never World champ.
He did not get the opportunity.

That is not what they are paid to do. Enough of the ridiculing. It has be become ludicrous on the part of our editors trying to point out how wrong others have grammatically gone wrong. Shubtill is an anglo-saxon anagram and l wish they can work it out.
Enough!

No! It was not $50000. It was $75000. Pity Justice Annan who was Kigpin in boxing at the time could not rescue DK before the day of the LORD.

THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PAY D K POISON NOW. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A WHOLE COUNTRY. THIS GUY HAS SACRIFICED FOR US. EVEN IF HE WAS CONNED, IT IS A FACT THAT HE LOST THAT MONEY TRYING TO DO A GOOD DEED FOR GHANA. THEREFORE, HE SHOULD BE PAID BACK EVERY PENNY OF THAT MONEY. THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO FORCE THE GOVT TO PAY D K. WE ARE TALKING OF $100 000. WHAT IS THAT MONEY TO A NATION WHEN WE PAY JUDGEMENT DEBTS OF $53 000 000? WHAT IS THAT MONEY WHEN TSATSU SQUANDERS $40 000 000 TO GAMBLE AGAINST SOCIETE GENERALE AND LOST? PAY THE MAN. AN UNGRATEFUL NATION IS NOT WORTH DYING FOR.
