Youth and Sports minister Isaac Asiamah says the opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) do not have any better thing for the sports sector as they has their time in government for 8 years.

The opposition NDC have promised in their manifesto pay monthly salaries of players of  various clubs in the Ghana Premier League a monthly salary of GHC1,500 when elected into power in December.

According to the Sports Minister it is a scam which must not be bought into by the football fraternity as they could have done this when the NDC was in power from 2008-2016 but refused so what has changed.

“John Mahama and his NDC were in government for 8 years. If he had anything better to offer why didn’t he do it within the period of his presidency?" he quizzed in an interview on Adom TV.

"Hearts of Oak, Kotoko, AshantiGold and the rest have always been around."

"Why didn’t he [John Mahama] pay their players? Ask Medeama and find out what happened when they participated in CAF inter-club competition,” he said on Adom TV

He added: “In line of this I believe we all know how this government led by Nana Akufo-Addo has demonstrated great concern towards sports men and women in this country. 1000 athletes are currently being paid by the government. This shows how committed the government is to athletes in this country. The sports industry should reject him.”
