Former Mighty Barrolle President Garmondeh has shunned with the results of the recent Congress held by the Liberia Football Association (LFA) in Ganta, Nimba County last weekend.

In a highly charged mood on Wednesday, Karnga had these words to express: “We have been in the background and observing the LFA as stakeholders. While, we hail the (Musa) Bility administration for the Congress, we want to remind the LFA about its mistakes.”

According to him, at the just ended Congress, everything became ‘yes’ after the current Executive Committee was tampered with by means of accepting US$9,000.00 each for purchase of vehicles.

“Look at the league with its date being changed now and then. Nobody has been able to talk,” he added.

The former Mighty Barrolle President said it is yet to be seen what kind of effort has been made to build the football academy even though there were already funds available from world football governing FIFA.

Mr. Karnga opined that the national league’s closing ceremony is being delayed and, as stated by him, it is an indication that the LFA is broke.

Following the decision by LFA President Bility to back Mohammed Bin Hammam for the FIFA presidency, Karnga is with the view that the local football head chose not to support the incumbent Joseph Blatter on grounds he was in search of money.

Karnga: “That shows that we now have problem with WAFU, CAF and FIFA. We can’t sit and allow football to go that way. I am not heading any football club now but I am speaking like a free man and football lover.”

He declared that for the next four years, there is no possibility of getting any good out of football under Bility on grounds that stakeholders have already been bought.
Giving reasons for his outbursts, Karnga said as a football lover, he wants the game to move forward.

“Bility is a businessman and won’t want to go without a gain. But for his performance, he has scored less than 8% with no improvement in the league. Indeed, Liberian football is dying under him. Meanwhile, Presidents of Liberian football should be men by their words,” Karnga noted.

Also former Executive Committee Member of the LFA, Karnga made it known that if the stakeholders sit and refuse to speak out, it will be a clear indication that they are really bought.
