Former Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has dragged the Ghana Football Association to the Labour Commission over his unpaid compensation fee.

Appiah was relieved of his position in September, a day after leading the Black Stars to beat Togo 3-2 in Lome in a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

His representatives, Law Group Solicitors and Barristers are demanding five items from the Football Association which includes his entitlements for the wrongful termination of his two-year contract.

A letter written to the Ghana federation said: “ Your letter of termination was silent on the fate of our client’s rental allowances as well as his official driver’s allowances.

“It our hope that just and good reason will prevail to ensure a mutual settlement of these outstanding payments.”

Law Group Solicitors and Barristers are representing Appiah and they are demanding outstanding signing on-fee, outstanding salary, performance bonus and allowances.

Appiah is owed US$ 106,002.02 of his signing fee after only US$ 60,000 was paid of the US$ 166,002.00 due him.

Also, he wants to be paid 19,209.60 as his half-monthly salary for the month of September and also US$ 20,000 winning bonus for beating Togo in Lome.

Appiah wants a pronouncement on his rental allowance and allowances for his driver.

The Ghana FA is yet to name Appiah’s successor despite interviewing three European coaches Avram Grant, Michel Pont and Juan Ignacio Jimenez.
