THE KUMASI Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), headed by Osei Assibey Antwi, is to take care of the medical bills of injured Kotoko players and technical staff.
The Assembly has already presented GH¢ 5,000 to the Kotoko management as part-payment of the medical bills.
The Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (RCC), headed by Simon Osei Mensah, has also pledged its support in taking care of the medical bills.
To authenticate their pledge, the RCC also donated GH¢ 5,000 to the Porcupine Warriors to help settle the cost of taking care of the injured.
Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, who rushed to KATH, where the players are responding to treatment, prayed for the injured.
