Normalisation Committee president Dr. Kofi Amoah will be forced to cough up US$ 100,000 if the new Ghana Football establishes he wrongfully supervised the payment of that amount as legal charges.

On Thursday, 28 November 2019, the Ghana Football Association announced that US$ 900,000 out of the US$ 1,000,000 arbitration settlement by Globacom Ghana was paid into their account.

Dr Amoah explained that 10% of the total payment was paid as legal charges to the lawyer who helped them retrieve the money.

A Ghana FA statement read: ''The Normalisation Committee explained further that 10% of the total payment of $1m US Dollars, being $100,000 US Dollars, was paid as legal charges to the Lawyer the Normalisation Committee contracted to pursue payment from Globacom Ghana.''
