MINISTRY TO PAY BLACK QUEENS
The Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Hon. Pius Hadzide has hinted that very soon players and technical staff of Ghana’s senior female national team the Black Queens will be handed their outstanding bonuses.
He also revealed that all the other female national teams will also be settled their outstanding bonuses and allowances.
The Black Queens are owed $12k by the state following accumulation of their allowances and bonuses, including bonus for the 2016 Women’s AFCON.
The Queens were owed $25k by the state but the former Sports Minister Hon. Nii Lante Vanderpuye paid $13k after the entire playing body of the team demonstrated publicly in an embarrassing turn of events.
Hon. Nii Lante then paid part of the money for the players with $12k out of that amount with the remaining left unpaid.
“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,” he 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,”
