Majority leader in parliament Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu has disclosed that cabinet will decide on GFA/GHALCA proposal for support on Friday.

Most clubs in Ghana are struggling to settle player salaries following the suspension of football activities due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

The GFA is set to receive $500,000 as stimulus package from FIFA to its Member Associations due to the virus.

The money is expected to be used as operational cost of the FA for the year 2019/20 season.

According to Hon. Kyei Mensah, the government needs to inquire whether the GFA needs the money for themselves or for the players.

"If the GFA need financial support because of COVID-19, we need to inquire whether the GFA need the money for themselves or for the players," he told Kumasi FM.

"I understand there’s been a brouhaha over a $500,000 fund from FIFA with the GFA claiming the money is meant for administration purpose and not for the clubs.

'I think if they are able to justify why they need a financial support from the government, the government will do the needful. I want to see the justification for it.

He added, "There’s a cabinet meeting this Friday. The minister responsible for sports will have to present it, we will deliberate over it and see how best government can help but it must come with sufficient justification."

"They may also have to explain to us why they have decided not to give the clubs a share a of the FIFA fund."
