If you read the report, you will see that the things we prescribed have not been done. For instance, we spoke of how money to the national team should be paid. We stated that paying by cash should be abolished. Payments should be done through bank accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on: \u201cWe also stated that qualification bonuses should be paid instead of winning bonuses. So many of the recommendations were meant to redeem the image of the Black Stars. Ask yourself if any of those recommendations have been implemented and the answer is no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In relation to the Black Stars and their bonuses, there has been an attempt by the Sports Ministry to implement a standard bonus regime for the team.<\/p>\n<p>It emerged that the team would get USD 5,000 in winning bonuses for the rest of the AFCON 2019 qualifiers and the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>This was announced by the deputy Sports Minister, Pius Hadzide in Kumasi a day after Ghana beat Ethiopia 5-0 in the AFCON 2019 qualifier.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: 4 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Friday, 30 June 2017 Source: todaygh.com 2017-06-30 Justice Senyo Dzamefe &#13; Lawyer and member of the Justice Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry, Moses Foh-Amoaning, believes that the commission\u2019s work has not hurt the image of the Black Stars as being claimed by some people.
