Appearance fees paid to Black Stars management is not a crime – GFA
Ghana FA spokesman Ibrahim Sannie Daara has
defended revelations that management members of
the Black Stars received appearance fees at the
2014 World Cup – insisting it is not a crime.

Chief Director of the Sports Minister Abudulai
Yakubu revealed during his turn with the
Presidential Commission of Inquiry that the
seven-member Black Stars management committee
received $82,000 as appearance fees.

This revelation has sent shockwaves amongst
several Ghanaians who hitherto knew that members
were given honorarium – a combined bonus of two
or three players shared amongst management members
and other officials.

But GFA spokesman Ibrahim Sannie Daara insists no
wrong was done by officials who received the
monies that had been duly approval and that some
are using the information to primarily taint the
image of the association.

“It is not a crime for management to take monies
that have been approved by the government,” he
told Radio Gold.

“It is not as if someone has been given money
that has not been budgeted for.

“It appears that people want to do the GFA in
and it is time for us to speak up.

“In any case, this is not a recent practice. It
was agreed years ago that people who work
constantly for the team also benefit from its
gains.

“It was done in 2006, was done in 2010 and it
was done in 2014. This is not illegal.”

The Presidential Commission of Inquiry was set up
to look into issues that saw the Black Stars make
a first round exit from the 2014 World Cup.

It is also to probe the preparations and systems
put in place by responsible authorities towards
the finals staged in Brazil.
