Ghana Football Association executive Committee member Wilfred Osei Palmer has told Sports Minister Nii Lante Vanderpuije that he has no power to scrap winning bonuses of management members of the various national teams.
Hon Nii Lantey has publicly stated that the management committee members of the various national teams must prove to him why they should be paid bonuses if not that system will be scrapped.
He continued to state that the services offered as a management committee member should be should purely be sacrificial.
But Osei Palmer who is the vice chairman of the Black Stars team says the Minister has no authority to stop their enticements since it is a cabinet decision.
“That decision to pay honorarium to management came from cabinet and not the Ghana FA and so when the minister indicated he was going to cancel it I was perturbed.” He told Starr Sports.
"This is because when cabinet takes decision it takes another cabinet to cancel it. Maybe he was on a political platform to say this because it is very interesting to note that the ministry is still paying.”
