Tema Youth chief: Sports Minister can't abolish honorarium for management committees

Ghana Football Association Executive Committee member Winfred Osei clams new Sports Minister cannot unilaterally stop the paying of honorarium to management committee members of the national teams.

He argues that it was a cabinet decision to pay members the various national teams and not from the Ghana FA.

Nii Lante Vanderpuye has kicked against the payment since taking office early this year but Osei says he has no case.

“That decision to pay honorarium to management came from cabinet and not the Ghana FA and so when the minister indicated he was going to cancel it I was perturbed," the Tema Youth owner said in an interview with Starr FM.

"This is because when cabinet takes decision it takes another cabinet to cancel it.

"Maybe he was on a political platform to say this because it is very interesting to note that the ministry is still paying."
