Abel Manomey Backs NDC's Proposal To Pay Players Ghc1,500 Monthly When Given Power

Dreams FC striker, Abel Manomey, has backed the opposition National Democratic Congress’ [NDC] proposal to pay Ghana Premier League players a monthly salary of 1,500 Ghana Cedis when they come to power.

The party following the launch of their manifesto dubbed 'People's Manifesto' outlined the creation of a Sports Fund, from which Ghana Premier League clubs can apply for fund.

Many football fans have dismissed the proposal by the NDC party.

But according to the former Great Olympics striker, the idea of the state sponsoring football clubs is a welcome initiative that can help grow the sport in the country.

“It is doable. I think governments are beginning to see that football is not just a passion but also a job,” he told Citi TV.

“When NDC comes into power, they can do it, because I can tell you on authority that the majority of Ghana Premier League players are receiving salaries in the region of GHS 80 to GHS 250.

"So I think it is a good plan, only if they follow through on their promise if they win,” he concluded.
