George Amoako denies writing to demand unpaid wages from Kotoko board

Published on: 25 June 2020

Mr George Amoako, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Asante Kotoko has refuted claims of writing to demand his five months outstanding salary from the Board of the club.

On Tuesday, reports emerged that the astute football administrator has written to the Board of club demanding his unpaid wages.

However, according to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council Member, he never wrote any letter to the Board of the club demanding for his unpaid wages.

“I chanced upon a financial report that the former Executive chairman now the chairman of the board had submitted to the Board which had nothing of me as the Chief Executive Officer as part of the administrative setup in that report”, he told Asempa FM.

“Most importantly my outstanding salary from February to June had not been mention in the report to the Board.

"So when I realize that the Board will have no knowledge of that outstanding payment due me I quietly talked to some of the Board members to take it up at the meeting.

"I never wrote to the Board or spoke to any journalist about it.

“I don’t need to make noise before I receive myself. I haven't officially written to the board to demand my salary but I want the Board to acknowledge that I have not been paid for the past five months.

"Despite the lack of football, I was working," he added.

The entire management of the Ghana Premier League giants has been dissolved following the institution of the new nine-member board.

However, Nana Yaw Amponsah is set to be named as the new CEO of the club.
