Members Of LFA at the last Congress     

March 21, 2003
       A former Vice President of the Invincible Eleven Majestic Football team, Edward Forson is calling for the dismissal of the General Secretary (Chief Scribe) of the Liberia Football Association (LFA).

      Mr. Forson, who is a former stakeholder of the LFA, said the entire secretariat of the football house should be restructured including the removal of the Secretary General, Yanqueh S. Borsay.

     In an interview recently, Mr. Forson accused the Chief Scribe of violating the statute of the local football house and lack the technical know how to head the Secretariat of the LFA.

     The outspoken sportsman said Mr. Borsay recently suspended Congress unilateral. "The Chief Scribe of the football house does not have the authority to postpone congress. This is against the statute and as such, Mr. Borsay should be replaced," Mr. Forson noted.

When quizzed as to what evidence he has on the Chief Scribe's alleged unilateral decision, Mr. Forson said there is a circular under the Chief Scribe's signature which announced the postponement of the congress. What Forson failed to realize is that the Chief Scribe runs the LFA and signs communications emanating from the Executive Committee of the LFA.

When Chief Scribe Borsay was contacted on why Congress was not held as agreed by the last Congress held in Kakata, Mr. Borsay said the failure of the clubs to register for the forthcoming league and to also afford the auditors time to complete their work.

According to LFA Statute, the Executive Committee has the sole right to take decision on behalf of the football house outside the holding of congress. Already, the Vice President for Operations of the LFA, Mr. Siaka A. Sherif, has distant himself from the postponement of the Congress.

The Veep/Operations recently told our correspondent that he did not know why Congress was not convene as was scheduled.

The Congress which is the highest decision making body of the LFA has been rescheduled for next weekend. It is expected to bring together officials of the LFA, Clubs, Affiliate and Full Members, Sub-Committee, Sub-Associations and former Executive Members of the LFA.
