Minister Kofi Iddie Adams
This initiative, carried out by the Sports Ministry under Minister Kofi Iddie Adams, came after a full audit in partnership with relevant state institutions to verify and clear legitimate arrears.
Government’s Role and Commitment
Although national team coaches are hired by the Ghana Football Association (GFA), their remuneration is funded by the government. The recent payment reaffirms the state’s responsibility and commitment to honoring its obligations to national sports personnel.
The Ministry’s action is expected to boost morale among technical staff and encourage a more structured and transparent system for managing coaching contracts and payments.
