Kwesi Nyantakyi
Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi's Brazil 2014 World Cup appearance fee is alleged to be sitting in somebody's account, DAILY GUIDE SPORTS understands.

The revelation comes on the heels of a declaration by Chief Director of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Alhaji Abdulai Yakubu at the Commission of Inquiry that each member of the Black Stars management team received $82,500 as appearance fee.

Last Friday, Alhaji Yakubu told the Commission that each of the sevenmember Black Stars Management members received the said figure.

But DAILY GUIDE SPORTS probe has revealed that Mr Nyantakyi received $40,000 instead of the $82,500 being bandied about by the witness.

Earlier, investigations into the matter indicated that some management members received as low as $20,000.

Slashing of financial remunerations of officials and some players has been the practice by some 'big men' at the Youth and Sports Ministry, sources told DAILY GUIDE SPORTS.

Efforts to reach the GFA boss for a reaction proved unsuccessful.
