President of Ghana Athletics, Bawa Fuseini, has debunked reports in Ghana that athletes preparing for the Olympic games for Ghana have threatened a strike over unpaid bonuses or per-diems.<\/strong><\/p>\nResponding to media reports in Ghana, Bawa Fuseini indicated his outfit is not in the position to determine bonuses that should be paid to athletes who will participate in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
Speaking on The Game on GHOne TV and Starr FM, Bawa Fuseini emphasized it is the sole responsibility of the Ghana Olympic Committee and the Ministry for Youth and Sports to decide on the amount to be paid to athletes as bonuses and per diems for the Olympic games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have not had any discussion with either the Ministry or with the GOC with regards to bonuses. It\u2019s not within my power to determine bonuses for the Olympic Games\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is solely the responsibility or the authority of the Ghana Olympic Committee to recommend the amount to the ministry and the Ministry will then approve and if an athlete wins, the ministry will pay so it\u2019s not on the Athletics Federation to determine the bonuses it\u2019s just outside our authority,\u201d he told GhOne TV.<\/p>\n
Bawa Fuseini further responded to concerns raised over per diems, the President of Ghana Athletics confirmed that the Ministry already has an agreement over per diems.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey asked me about per diems and what I told them was that we have discussed the issues with the International Games Committee and that the Ministry has already agreed on the per diems right from the pre-game camping to the Olympic games. These are two different budgets, the pre-campaign budget is different from the Olympic games budget and he confirmed that they have already finished the per diems and everything allowances with the athletes and officials right from the pre-games to the Olympic Games, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are turning it to the Olympic Games and Olympic bonuses this story has nothing to do with the Olympic team, it has nothing to do with the athletes, the athletes never complained about anything Olympics so far as I\u2019m aware, the athletes are comfortable they are training and they will deliver\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are scheduled to take place from July 26th to August 11th, 2024.<\/p>\n
