In reaction to the current payment issue involving former Black Stars head coach CK Akonnor, the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MOYS) has taken action.
The coach had denied charges made by Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif that he had received a $100,000 payment following his dismissal from his coaching role.
In an interview with Graphic Sports on Monday, Akonnor explained that, while he did get a payment, it was not the $100,000 indicated by the minister during a news conference last week.
Seeking to address the issue, the MOYS released a statement acknowledging the media reports and seeking to provide clarity on the payments made to Charles Kwablan Akonnor after the termination of his contract.
“The attention of the Ministry of Youth and Sports has been drawn to publications in the media regarding an amount of money owed the former coach of the Black Stars, Charles Kwablan Akonnor, following the termination of his contract,” the statement read.
The ministry went on to detail the payments they have made to the former Ghana captain.
