The Normalisation Committee has been caught in an embarrassing credibility-crisis after failing to reveal the budget to local clubs, which has forced the delay start of the Special Competition, GHANAsoccernet.com Headquarters can report.
The country's 16 Premier League clubs in particular are demanding for the variables expenses of the $800,000 earmarked for the four-month competition amid a transparency crisis which has hit the interim Ghana FA body.
The Normalisation Committee is yet to respond to a double -dose request cum reminder to the body regarding the financial arrangements of the competition.
The current situation has led to a stalemate between the two parties as they jostle over financial details of the competition, top officials have told GHANAsoccernet.com
Local clubs have been left in abeyance, seeking for full financial disclosure before committing to the competition which is being funded by the Ghanaian taxpayer.
The now-vibrant country's elite football clubs rescinded their decision to boycott the Special Committee after an initial threat to pull plugs over several disagreements.
But the clubs now want a detailed budget for the competition so they can understand the financial requirements of the tournaments - a request which has flatly been denied by authorities.
The clubs have insisted they will secure additional funding for the competition once there is full disclosure on the $ 800,000 financial terms for the tournament - clearly the stalemate which has stalled the start of the tournament originally scheduled to kick start on February 3.
There is no clear signs from the Ghana Football Association on the exact date for the commencement of the hugely-anticipated tournament as fixtures are yet to be released with clubs left in limbo.
The launch of the competition remains unclear as the FA battle with clubs on the financial terms of the competition.
The current situation is a massive slap on a normalisation period for Ghana football as it betrays the essence of restoring trust in the game in the West African nation.
The Normalisation Committee was instituted by FIFA following the airing of the 'Number 12' video by controversial journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas which revealed widespread corruption in the game in June 2018.

So Anas wants Ghanaians to believe that nobody becomes privy to his investigations before he starts? Are we serious as a country? Why should we allow one man called Anas to dictate to well meaning Ghanaians. At times I wonder how some well educated persons who should know better support Anas. Anas works with people and anytime they go on with their bogus modus operandi of entrapment, some people are privy to it. The fact that a judge declined to accept bribe doesnt make him or her holy. Some knew wat was going on. All these makes anas a questionable character. He is not objective. He doesnt believe in natural justice. He gloats for his selfish interest. He buys cars, lands, builds mansions with the money he gets from selling his works to BBC aljazeera and co. SO ANAS SETS UP PEOPLE SO THAT HE CAN GET MONEY WHEN HE SELLS HIS WORK. WHY SHOULD WE ENCOURAGE HIM? COFFEE SHOP MAFIAS. As a Muslim, you start your investigations by telling lies just to entrap innocent people.ANAS ARE YOU A TRUE MUSLIM?
Blame Anas for this. Can someone tell me any good thing that came from anas' investigation. Anas set up people, got them to loose their salaries, loose their jobs and he sold his work to BBC for money. The guy destroys people for his selfish greedy gains. Ghana is still where it is. We dont need greedy and selfish people like Ana's to dictate for us. His investigations are bogus. Full of malice and bias.
The GFA image has been destroyed and it will take a long time to rebuild it, and I blame Anas for this. It was a terrible mistake for the Government or whoever contracted Anas to make a show of his investigations of corruption publicly before indictments were made of the named individuals. This was so childish and unintelligent for some Ghanaians to feel proud of the ***barred word*** work of Anas and make him a hero. When Anas sacrifices the good image of Ghana for his self-glorification. It is not Kwasi Nyantakyi's name he has destroyed, but the whole Football world and the country as a whole. The Law could have dealt with Kwesi Nyantakyi and others quietly and saved the GFA, if Anas had not used his most corrupt method of naming and shaming people before they are found guilty. This is not what is done in any civilized world. It is time the Ghana government sit up and stop Anas of his ***barred word***, else, there will be more chaos and destruction of the country because of Anas.
