FA Execs Don't Deserve US$400 Honorarium
Sunday, December 17, 2006

LISCR FC President, Mustapha Raji, has reiteated his quest to the Executive Committee members of the Liberia Football Association to relinquish their US$ 400.00 honorarium to local clubs.

Mr. Raji told reporters recently that the way authorities at the local football house were running the country’s soccer program, which is faced with host of problems, proved that the US$400 allotted to the executives every six-month is a waste.

According to him, LFA executives were yet to understand the frustration club presidents endure in running their various clubs. He said the executive committee members were more concerned of their personal interest rather than seeking the welfare of the teams.

He expressed disappointment over recent report that the LFA Vice President for Administration, Pennoh Bestman, was accused of attacking the Vice President for Operation, Adolph Lawrence.

“It sounds so frustrating and discouraging that people who were given the responsibility to manage affairs of football in the country were involved in serious conflict while other countries on the continent were moving far ahead with their football programs”, he pointed out.

He said the provision of “honorarium” for officials is a complete disservice to the clubs. “Let the amount be given to the teams for empowerment, since the executives were yet  to understand what it means to run football teams”, he noted.

The LISCR FC President, who is also an executive committee member of the LFA, further indicated that he was prepared to join other club presidents in the country to boycott the national league next season if the FA authorities failed to put their house in order.

His comment was also buttressed by the female clubs President Wallace Weiah. Mr. Weiah said the plan was in the right direction toward the development of the game in the country.

He said the call for the US$400 cancellation honorarium is significant since the executive committee members seem to show less interest in addressing the plight of local teams.

In a recent meeting held with stakeholders, the Vice President for Operation of the Liberia Football Association, Adolph Lawrence, admitted that the football house was engulfed with host of problems that have impeded progress of football in the country.
