Executive Council member of the Ghana Football, Oduro Sarfo has defended the proposal to allocate $5,000 for fuel related expenses, despite existing protocol for such.<\/p>\n

Along with a proposal to pay management committee members an amount of $10,000 each, the proposed amount for fuel was rejected as government approved $1.3 million for Ghana\u2019s World Cup Qualifiers against Chad and Mali. <\/p>\n

The GFA had submitted a budget of $2 million for the two games.<\/p>\n

The fuel related has since drawn public criticism, but the Oduro Sarfo insists the decision was well thought through.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fuel budget is not for the Black Stars bus alone. It extends to vehicles for referees, match commissioner and other key officials.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further indicated that criticism of the GFA on the matter are either malicious or ignorant.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone reducing it to just the team bus is either exposing their ignorance or intentionally peddling lies\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

Details of the GFA\u2019s budget proposal were made public by Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams, at a Press Conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The GFA has since said it will respond to the contents of Minister\u2019s speech after the two qualifiers have been played.<\/p>\n

Ghana will face Chad in N\u2019djamena on Thursday at 1 PM, before hosting Mali in Accra on Monday, at 7 PM in separate Group I World Cup Qualifiers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
