Kotoko Express newspaper editor Jerome Otchere
Kotoko Express newspaper editor Jerome Otchere does not mince words in his assessment of the Ministry of Sports’ treatment of CK Akonnor.
It has been widely reported that Kotoko’s former coach has not been paid since his appointment in January 2020. His salary is reportedly set at $ 25,000.
Sports Minister Isaac Asiamah revealed last month that he is negotiating with the coach for a pay cut and the coach reportedly agreed.
After hearing this, Otchere concluded that employers should be the first to accept the pay cuts.
“They haven’t paid him for nine months, but the ministry has asked him to accept a pay cut. I don’t think it’s fair to CK Akonnor. My post is simple. If we think that COVID has affected our finances so much that we do not pay CK Akonnor, the bosses should also cut their salaries so that we know that it is leading by example, “he told Joy FM.
He also criticized the scathing attack by the vice president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Joseph Ade Coker on Akonnor.
“Joseph Ade Coker said that he [CK Akonnor] he is not a world class coach. That to me is degrading. No world-class coach will accept the amount of money he is taking. Herve Renard is reported to be taking about $ 80,000 a month from Morocco.
Perhaps he qualifies to be described as a world-class coach. If this came from a normal street football fan, it would have been allowed, but coming from a former FA vice president, it’s disrespectful. “
