The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has pledged to pay each domestic player at least GH¢ 1,500.00 under its next government.
The NDC, at the launch of its manifesto, disclosed that it will establish a Sports Fund, which will support several sporting activities in the country.
The Communications Director of the party, Sammy Gyamfi, an interview with Kumasi FM said the Sports Fund will also cater for the wages of domestic league players.
“The NDC will establish the sports development fund. Government will furnish the account with enough money and also generate some from cooperate bodies,” he said.
