The ministry has just taken hold of the prize money of Ghana\u2019s participation in AFCON 2017. In the budget I was expecting that, I would see that either in the ITF or receivables but nothing.  I ask where is that money, what has it been used for?\u201d the minister enquired.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana placed fourth at the 2017 AFCON in Gabon is estimated to have taken home not less $750,000 as prize money.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 35 updated by: -1 --><\/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 Tuesday, 28 November 2017 Source: ghananewsagency.org 2017-11-28 Former Sports Minister, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye The former Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, has raised concerns over the whereabouts of the prize money for Ghana\u2019s participation in the 2017 African Cup on Nations (AFCON) in Gabon.
