The Congress of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has approved emoluments for the leadership of the association as recommended by the Frederick Moore committee.

The three-man committee that had Delali Senaye (CEO of Inter Allies) and Sampson Nartey-Yoe (Financial consultant and lecturer) as members proposed that President Kurt Okraku be given a monthly salary of ¢12,000, Vice President ¢7,000 Mark Addo and ¢4,000 each for the rest of the Executive Council (ExCo).

Other emoluments such as per diems of $500 and $400 per day for foreign travels of the President and Vice President respectively were also proposed to the decision-making body of the FA.

For ExCo members, $300 was suggested for their foreign travels. Also, a sitting allowance of ¢1,600 for ExCo was tabled before Congress. These proposals were met with objections from a section of Congress led by JF Mensah and Alhaji Grusah.

However, members voted in support of the recommendations, when they reached a consensus that a well-remunerated leadership would yield better work output for the development of Ghana football.

Also approved by Congress was a decision of the committee to end payment of ex-gratia to members of the Executive Council as previously practiced.
