Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama said flying $US3 million ($3.19 million) to the nation's football team was "necessary" even as a defender filmed kissing the cash helped send the team out of the tournament with an own goal.

Mahama, whose government relied on the central bank to pay its bills last quarter, sent a jet with more than $US3 million ($3.19 million) to Brasilia to prevent a possible boycott of yesterday's game against Portugal, led by World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo. Defender John Boye can be seen kissing a stack of money in a hotel after it arrived by armed escort, according to Rio de Janeiro-based Globo TV. Boye scored an own goal in the game yesterday.

"I believe valuable lessons were learned by all," Mahama said in an emailed response to questions from Bloomberg News. "There was a problem with the initial mode of transportation for the payment and so we made other arrangements that, while unconventional, were necessary."
