Kwesi Appiah serves GFA third letter demanding arrears today
Lawyers of former Black Stars coach, Kwasi Appiah has presented a third letter – demanding his salary arrears – to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Friday, May 20, 2020,Domesticsportsgh.com can report.
Should the GFA fail to acknowledge receipt as they have in the last two instances, the coach might be to forced to exercise his right to proceed to FIFA for his money, as enshrined in his contract.
The terms of agreement say, should there be a dispute between the GFA and Appiah, FIFA would be the next course of action.
West End Sports on May 18 reported that Mr Appiah directed his lawyers to send a reminder to the local football governing body to demand the over $180,000 owed him.
This followed the GFA’s decision not to renew his contract that expired on December 31, 2019
The move is necessitated by the GFA’s reluctance to respond to two letters sent in March and April 2020, sources said.
The Kurt Okraku-led administration insists they are not responsible for his emoluments, saying he should redirect his lenses to the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The Secretariat of the FA forwarded the letters to the Youth and Sports Ministry, but have not communicated to Appiah.
The Ministry, however, have not had any formal conversation to reach an agreement for settlement, Domesticsportsgh.com understands.
