According to the General Manager of Asante Kotoko, Nana Akwasi Gyambibi, Mobile Telecommunication Company, MTN have suspended all financial obligations to the club with immediate effect.

“It is stated categorically in the contract with MTN that any time there is closure led by a force majeure it means the contract can either be terminated or suspended. There is a letter from MTN to Asante Kotoko claiming they are suspended all their financial obligations to the club, this is in conformity of a clause in the contract that allows them to do so,”  Nana Gyambibi Coker told Luv FM,

He added, “There will be serious difficulties in terms of the club’s financial situation. Coupled with the absence of football, Kotoko is not making any revenue which will make it difficult for club to fulfill its financial obligations to whoever the club is in contract with.

‘This and many other reasons are why we have been engaging employees of the club especially the playing body to accept pay cuts so that the club can be taken care of and sustained in this hard times.”
