The act flouts one of the recommendations by Commission which looked into Ghana’s World Cup fiasco in Brazil.

The Commission recommended the only modes of payments to players and officials on national team assignments should be through bank transfers to the accounts of all beneficiaries and Order cheques in the name of the beneficiaries.

According to a report by myjoyonline.com, a high-powered government delegation led by sector minister Dr Mustapha Ahmed carried the money to pay each player US$10,000 before their qualifier against Rwanda in Kigali.
