Aide to the Sports Minister, Kofi Asare Brako, has said former coach of the Black Stars, James Kwasi Appiah, does not need his five months salary arrears to survive.
Appiah has threatened to drag the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to FIFA over his five months salary arrears.
The GFA through its communication director, Henry Asante Twum, said the country’s football governing body was not responsible of paying national team coaches.
However, the Sports Ministry has pledged they will settle the $185,000 arrears.

Appiah was given a two-year contract in 2017, and further extended till December 2019, but the Ghana FA failed to new his contract expiration.
