Caterers received $17, 200 as service charge Darko
Accra, Aug. 28, GNA – The Project Coordinator of
Ghana Brasil 2014 World Cup, Fred Darko has said,
each of the three caterers employed by the
committee to cook for the supporters sent to
Brasil to support the Black Stars received $17,
200 as service charge.

The charge, according to Darko, was for the
services provided, by the caterers who also came
along with three workers each.

The caterers were; Amber’s Food Services,
Monique Food Services and Kenkey Boutique.

Darko, said, the charge excludes, the use of their
utensils, food stuffs, accommodation and airfare
adding that, they were taken care of by the
committee.

According to Darko, the charge covered 15 days of
services rendered by the caterers during the
trip.

His statement sharply contradicts that of the
former Minister of Youth and Sports, Elvis
Afriyie-Ankrah, who earlier told the committee
that, each caterer received $5,000 dollars as
honorarium.

When asked whether he was aware of the figure by
the former minister, Darko, said he was not aware
of the statement made by the ex-minister Youth and
Sports minister and insisted each caterer received
$17,200.

Darko, ended his three day appearance before the
Commission on Thursday and was discharged after
the marathon session.

Justice Senyo Dzamefe, said, “well on behalf of
the commission, you are discharged for now, but
whenever we need you, we shall invite you”.
