While contract details of Tetteh’s two year deal have been jealously guarded by Ferwafa and the Ministry of Sports, Youth and Culture, inside sources have intimated to this paper that the Ghanaian gets a whopping $15,000 (Rwf 8.8m) per month, $2000 (Rwf 1.8m) for a win and $1000 (Rwf0.59m) for a draw.
