'If The Price Of Kenkey Has Moved From Ghc1 To Ghc5 Then The Filing Fee For GFA Positions Can Also Change' – Commey

A former manager of Adua Stars has stated that the Ghana Football Association's proposed new filing fees are acceptable.

Albert Yahaya Commey asserted that the nation was experiencing a severe economic downturn and that prices for goods and services had surged.

As a consequence, he sees no problem with the proposed fees, particularly the increase from Ghc5,000 to Ghc50,000 for the presidential election.

In addition, he stated that four years had passed since the last election was organized, and that the proposed fees were reasonable.

Even if the filing fee is increased to GHC 100,000, he said, individuals will still find the money to run for office.

During an interview on Rainbow Sports, he suggested that numerous factors may have been taken into account when revising the figure.

He added that this will enable only serious candidates to file and compete.

"What has been the percentage increase in goods and services over the last four years?" We do not inhabit an island. We reside in an economic system.

You will claim the filing fee was excessive if you do not investigate or evaluate the issues we have observed and the increase in the cost of services and commodities.

However, a realistic assessment of the situation reveals that we are living in difficult times. We are in a challenging circumstance. How much did a disk of kenkey cost at the time? A lump of kenkey was once sold for GHC1, which may have been sufficient for your needs. However, a kenkey ball now costs GHC5 and is insufficient. Additionally, you should bear in mind that if you propose GHC 100,000, you will have competitors.

Before recommending these fees, the GFA standing committee may have considered multiple factors.

They likely do not want a large number of individuals to squander their time by picking up the forms. It is difficult, but we must keep in mind that these are not normal times."
