Chairman of the Black Stars management committee, George Afriyie has 
denied claims the GFA owe Avram Grant and that has caused his prolonged 
stay away from the country.
Ghana is set to play Congo on the 1st of September in an exhibition 
match before taking on the Amavubi of Rwanda in Kigali four days later.
The game against Congo is meant to officially open a 60,000 capacity 
stadium purposely built for the hosting of the 2015 All Africa 
Games,whiles the game against Rwanda is the all-important AFCON 2017 
qualifier.
With barely two weeks to these games coach Avram Grant is yet to arrive 
in the country with many attributing his reluctance to return due to 
unpaid remunerations due him.
But George Afriyie who is Chairman of the management committee of the 
Black Stars says, the Ghana Football Association have no outstanding 
salary issue with the former Chelsea boss.
“We have to be fair to Mr Grant because during the discussions to 
appoint him he made very clear that his decision to coach the Black 
Stars had nothing to do with money,” Afriyie told Citi Sports
“As far as I am concerned the Ghana Football Association does not owe the coach.”
Grant is expected to arrive in Ghana on Sunday before naming his team for the double header.
