Now understand why the minister doesnt want to pay such huge bonuses to the blackstars because if we pay bribed to referees to qualify, there is no essence to pay bonuses.

"Edin bi ne edin bi s3"
Thank you.

Here is one
If, for almost 35years, government's funding of the BlackStars runs into millions and millions of dollars without any gain, a reward, no trophy for God's sake, and or "no nothing" to show for.
If this couldn't be an embarrassment to Ghana and the rest of the civilized society, then what is it for?
2. For a GFA boss to admit before a commission in a cross examination, having looted and shared monies intended for sports developments, albeit, uncountable number of deficiencies, 'kankankan', 'katasehy3', 'seproy3' and very many nocturnal, sinister and nefarious activities at the sole detriment of the country's sports ministry, the federation(GPL)persay, that's supposed to be his number one priority but hitherto usher it into disrepute, resulting in shambles, decay and deterioration, so much so to a point where the joint could no longer attract any sponsorship at the mercy of the club owners defies or fits the term embarrassment to you and I, the state and the outside world.
It's surprise you're suggesting we shelve it. Abi?

3.If, for a mere $400,000 stacked in a paper bag could be taken hostage in a flight to a WC event staged out of the country under the banner of "appearance" fee couldn't be an embarrassment, what then could it be?

4.Were these a mere allegations or a truth that emanated from a legal proceedings? Are we making it up?
Most probably, you are a sorrier sympathizer of a corruptible nature.
perhaps out of sync of the going ons in Ghana.

Get noted that,Nyantahyi and his cohorts: The Alibaba and the 40 thieves have cheated/milked Ghana for too/so long and, its about time the truth is told and punishment meted outtp the recalcitrant and this band of incorrigibles.

who was bribed? the officiating body or the egypt team?

we all saw the game and the goals, there was nowhere the refree favoured Ghana , the only penalty was awarded to the pharaos , so tell me how the bribe was paid in the first leg,

ghana lost to the pharos at egypt in the second leg encounter, it was the goals difference that gave the blackstars the qualification so how and who was bribed?

maybe as usual the said money was co-efficient and now the beneficials are looking for an accounting sheet and reasons

So if we don't qualify this time around for Russia 2018 that will mean it was because there was no unclassified payments? Let them retain the unclassified payments and see if we qualify. By the way, payments were made to who? Egyptian players, referee and assistants or GFA officials?

IT IS THE SPORTS MINISTRY ACCOUNTS THAT REQUEST AND DISBURSE MONIES DIRECTLY ON BEHALF OF THE GFA SO IF SOMEBODY AT THE MINISTRY "CHOPPED" THAT MONEY AND DECIDED TO REPORT IT AS A BRIBE TO OFFICIALS BECAUSE RECEIPTS WOULD NOT BE DEMANDED, THEY SHOULD BE CALLED TO REFUND SUCH FUNDS AND NOT THE GFA. NII LANTEY'S HATRED TOWARDS THE FA LEADERSHIP IS WHAT IS FUELING THIS BASELESS ALLEGATIONS. NII LANTEY SHOULD REMEBER THE PROVERBIAL BAT THAT THREATENED TO URINATE ON GOD ENDED UP URINATING ON ITSELF. A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH.

That stupid newspaper should be sanctioned severely if the allegation cannot be proved. What madness is ailing some Ghanaians always wishing evil for this country.Nyantakyi is playing a very dangerous game and the earlier he is dealt with the better for football in this country. I will not be surprised if he works against the qualification of the Black Star as pay back to the Ministry.

the leak is supposed to be from the Sports Ministry headed by an ignorant thug who just want to show his so-called "power" over the FA officials, so why blame Nyantakyi and the GFA

Heeih ! O. B Amoah, don't bring yourself . Now we know that Nyantakyi is the one who orchestrates all the criminality at the GFA, which he calls the coefficient and honorarium theories.

If the minister is bold enough to confront the nonsense at the GFA, what is the beef of O. B Amoah when his name has not been mentioned. Well he is welcome to the debate of the 'coefficient nonsense'.

Coefficient nonsense is the situation when a lawyer disburse state monies without corresponding receipts, signatures, vouchers, memos from the recipients of which some were dead at the time of disbursements.

All these nonsense prevail at the GFA and u say Nyantakyi is not a thief????? Don't bring ur 'salifu'.

Please STOP POLITICISING this matter ! This UNFORTUNATE ALLEGATION has nothing done with NDC or NPP or what have you. What is important is : The Minister and His Ministry should come out FORCELY to confirm this. And whether TRUE or NOT THE MINISTER should be forced to RESIGN-he did not think of the damage that could be caused to the HAPPINESS of Ghanaians and Ghanaian football as well, and then THE GFA SHOULD BE DISSOLVED IMMEDIATELY. Finally, to Ghanasoccernet ; THINK ABOUT YOUR NATION'S INTEREST, NAME AND REPUTATION IN GLOBAL FOOTBALL. YOU'RE REPORTING AN ALLEGATION LIKE THIS AS IF A FERVENT PROVE IS BEING DECLARED. AREN'T YOU GHANAIANS? STUPID! NKURASEFO! MAY GOD ALMIGHTY PUNISH YOU FOOLISH REPORTERS, UNQUALIFIED JOURNALISTS.

GFA is not needed, a computer programme or a 16yr old could do a better job.
