Government has paid one million euros to help secure television rights for the telecast of live matches of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
The state has invited co-operate bodies to make cash contributions to pay the other half of the 2 million euro fee being asked by right holder�s SportFive.
When secured, the rights will go to state broadcaster Ghana Television (GTV) who are expected to sublet the rights to other television broadcasting houses in Ghana.
There is now a desperate race against time to secure absolute rights with barely three days left to the start of the tournament in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea where Ghana�s senior national team will be on display.
The Black Stars are drawn in Group D alongside Botswana, Guinea and Mali and will play all of its group games in the Gabonese city of Franceville.
