This comes after some media men campaigning for the ministry had claimed last week that the $150,000 declared by the GFA is false. The campaigners for the sports ministry started making the claims that they had leaked documents showing that $327,000 was paid to the GFA. According to them, the Ghana FA received $150,000 as the first instalment with $177,000 to be paid later, totalling $327,000. The Ghana FA claims the Sports Minister, Nii Lante Vanderpuye, has led a campaign to demonize the federation with slanted leaks to the media meant to make the GFA unpopular.
