The Ministry says it will audit the accounts before deciding whether to pay the supposed debt or not with sources saying that the ministry has a debt of GHC 20 million.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) gave the GFA about $600,000 for the country’s preparation and participation in the tournament yet the Sports Ministry, in September of that year wrote to the association demanding 50% of the money with the leadership of Dr. Kofi Amoah reimbursing $300,000 to the Ministry as requested.

The Ministry then directed the GFA to use the rest of the money to pay clubs that participated in the NC Special competitions.
