The deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Pius Hadzide has promised government will pay all outstanding bonuses owed the Black Queens very soon.
The women’s team received $13,000 out of $25,000 from the past administration after the playing body demonstrated demanding for their bonuses.
“Yes some amount of monies was paid out of the $25k to the Black Queens and there are still some outstanding bonuses to pay. We are making strenuous efforts to defray all those outstanding allowances,” Hadzide said.
“These are debts that we inherited and they are hanging on our necks which we can’t ignore. We are doing all we can to defray all those debts. Be rest assured that very soon, the players involved will be paid,” he told GhanaSoccernet.
Mr. Hadzide cited the Brazil 2014 row as an occurrence his government wants to dodge by not giving empty promises to players of the various national teams and failing to fulfil them.
“We saw what happened in Brazil when the players kept saying that they kept receiving promises of having their appearance fees which never came erupting the shameful incident that happened.
“We want to discontinue that trend,” the Minister stressed.
