MOYS has denied former Black Stars head coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor’s claim of not receiving $100,000 after contract termination. Akonnor refuted the claim, stating he received the amount after being relieved of duties.
”I never received the kind of money the minister mentioned. I don’t want to put out how much they paid me but it was not $100,000 as the minister said,” he noted.
His comments came after the Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif, had told the media during a press briefing last week that both Akonnor and his replacement, Milovan Rajevac, were paid $100,000 following their sacking.
However, the MOYS has come out to prove payments made to the former Ghana international following the termination of his contract.
“The attention of the Ministry of Youth and Sports has been drawn to publications in the media regarding an amount of money owed the former coach of the Black Stars, Charles Kwablan Akonnor following the termination of his contract,” a statement from the ministry read.
