According to the bankroller of Okyeman Planner, the reason behind the payment of the 10% fee is to develop football at the grassroots level, something which has not been done.
“I am one of the advocates who will propose at congress for the 10% paid by clubs to the GFA for transfers outside to be scrapped,” he told Joy FM.
“[As I said earlier] its purpose has been defeated. The purpose was for the FA and GHALCA to use the funds generated to support the clubs in terms of their welfare, juvenile football and others but that has not been realized. It has been a while we organized any competition for juvenile football,” he added.
“Let’s say, Osei Palmer scouts a player from a colts club in Ashaiman, he can sell the player and 5% each of the amount is given to the GFA and GHALCA and it is not used to develop youth football, then what Benfica club gained?” he questioned.
He continued that, “GHALCA for instance is supposed to be a welfare body for the clubs but has become for welfare for members but not clubs.
“When have they gone to the aid of any club or clubs in difficulty? I am positive I will have the support of a lot of clubs to get rid of it,” the former Black Stars management committee member stated.
