Hon Dickson Kyere Duah, the Member of Parliament for Berekum West Constituency says the Ghana Premier League must be made autonomous to inject some efficiency into the running of the local league.
The call is coming on the back of the renewed interest in the local league.
He said the GFA must be made to concentrate on the national teams as being practised in South Africa and the UK.
“I am in favor of the autonomous league’s decision, as the league’s interactive nature will make it challenging to secure sponsors. Consequently, private investors are necessary to provide support and press for funding in order to make the Ghana Premier league more appealing,”Hon Dickson Kyere Duah told Original TV.
The Ghana Premier League is currently organized and managed by the GFA.
The development follows a joint meeting between the clubs and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) earlier this week.
The two most successful clubs in Ghana’s history have been vocal about the need for changes in the league’s structure following the tragic death of Asante Kotoko supporter Francis Yaw Frimpong during a match against Nsoatreman on February.
As part of their demands, the clubs called for stricter security measures at league games and emphasized the importance of transitioning to an autonomous league system to enhance professionalism and development in Ghana football.
