The Minister of Youth and Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah has presented to Parliament the total amount of money spent by the Senior National Team, the Black Stars at the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt.
According to the Minister, the state spent $4,564,532.00 during the competition.
There have been several reactions to this including that of Kwami Sefa Kayi, host of Peace FM's flagship morning show 'Kokrokoo'.
"...Black Stars is a cash cow for some people...Kwesi Nyantakyi has been vindicated....you are going into a tournament knowing fully well the eventual winner will take home $4.5m, yet you sit and prepare a budget over $6m; which is more than the prize money?...if it was your own money, would you spend it this way?...we were kicked out during the second round stage yet the country spent $4.5m, the amount of money we would have received had Ghana won the cup... it doesn't make sense....Understandably, if we had won the cup, the euphoria, prestige and glory would have been intangible. But seriously, you don't go and do this and think it is okay and i hear some people are justifying this by saying it was the same under Nyantakyi's era...are you out of your minds?!...This is Ghana oo," Sefa Kayi laments on Black Stars AfCON 2019 Budget.

hahhaha im really shocked by the U turn of Sefa Kayi and Kwaku Yeboah. Sefa call ur coffee shop mafia gurus and apologize to Nyantakyi wai. God is watching hypocrites
You are making a mistake add all the expenses when we were playing primary's, in all Ghana spent over $10m and thats what we have been doing all this while not a new thing. Why do we have to pay BLACK STARS whiles they need us more? let try this : Anyone who wants to play Black Stars should come by their own will and see how they will rush. This guys need the Black Stars to market themselves so why let them bluff you? Its all about " NOKOFIO" the officers want.
Our money Oga dey chop am Funya Funya ,e dey chop am basa basa. NPP making moves like NDC pepeeeepe,Nii Lantey Vanderpuije seems to have protected the public better,Australia you guys turned into connection men, Egypt too you go waste our money.Hmm one day the people would rise against you all NPP and NDC
Sefa-Kayi, disappointing analysis; whether you win or lose, you have to pay per diem, hotel, preparation charges? Please deduct these charges and what's left over? The per diem is agreed, the hotel charge is agreed, transport is agreed, who is to receive is agreed. Bonuses are agreed, and in case they won, monetize the feel good factor on Ghanaians and then tell us if this is value for money! When the government flew you and other journalists as part of government delegations, did you not take a per diem, was your hotel room not paid for, was your plane ticket out of your own pocket. Let's do deeper introspection...,
The black man is definitely not capable of managing their own affairs. ***barred word*** and foolery have clouded the minds of our leaders and we think there is a way forward.
400L....... . wasn't you and your corrupt tiger eye that brought Kwesi Nyantakyi down? sefa,swallow your pride and say sorry to Nyantakyi.
ehi Akuffo Addo,you said not under your watch but this one de333 it is under your clock. smh
When you liseten to our journalists, you wander if they have brains in their heads. How can somebody suggest that a corrupt person is "vindicated" just because another person has done another wrong thing? Some of these guys in the media are friends with Nyantekyi so they are always looking for opportunities to justify his corrupt actions. If this country is going to be plunged into chaos, it will come from journalists. They are now fighting to be made gods in their own right. They are always right, and everyone else is wrong. Ghana is fu*ked up with these guys.
@kojo ansah u don’t have s.ense people like u ruin nations aboaba
sometimes I wonder whether we do proper analysis. If you have to buy a scarce item in let say Kumasi for thirty cedis and you have to transport with STC and pay One Hundred cedis as transport does it make you unwise. If Ghana is participating in a tournament and we have spend that much I think we can come into a conclusion whether it is worthy or not depending on several factors. We have to look at what others spend, what motivated their spending etc.
