MOYS blames COVID-19 over non-payment of Kwesi Appiah’s salary arrears
A Spokesperson for the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Kofi Asare Brako, has blamed the failure to pay the outstanding salary of former head coach, Kwesi Appiah on economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic which has caused financial constraint on the ministry.
Appiah is owed $185,000 in salary arrears from his time as Black Stars coach and has been on the neck of the Sports Ministry for his money.
But according to Asare Brako, salaries of coaches have always been paid through sponsorship packages but the case of James Kwesi Appiah not receiving his money is due to the ripple effects of COVID-19.
“The salary of the head coach of the Black stars has always been paid through a sponsorship package, and it is unfortunate this has now dragged into the period of the coronavirus pandemic,” Kofi Asare told BBC Sport Africa.
The 59-year-old coach, who led the Black Stars of Ghana at the 2014 World Cup, has told BBC Sport he is prepared to take his claim to football’s world governing body FIFA if he does not receive his money soon.
Background
Former head coach of the Black Stars, James Kwesi Appiah earlier this year stated that he is owed $185,000, most of which cover five months’ unpaid salary.
Appiah’s outstanding payment of $185,000 equates to five times his monthly salary of $35,000 in addition to a $10,000 bonus for beating Sao Tome prior to his contract expiring in December 2019.
