August 13, 2006

The National Animator of the Liberia Youth Network LIYONET Mr. Mawolo T. Kpadeh says he support the nomination of former Millennium Star President John Rufu Ballah as Secretary General of the Liberia Football Association (LFA).

According to LIYONET boss Mr. Ballah has the technique and administrative skill in running the local football house.

He argue that former Millennium President has vital experience and has held several administrative position and only needed to be giving a chance for the good of the game.

Liberia Football Association (LFA) boss Sombo Izetta Wesley, recently nominated the former Millennium FC president John Rufus Ballah for the position of Secretary General of the local football house.

This is in pursuit of madam Wesley's urge to settle the vacancy problem at the LFA after the exit of Yanqueh Borsay.

Ballah nomination by the "Iron Lady" is the second after Executive Committee member rejected P.G.Wright Mr. Ballah is currently in the account section of the LFA, and many are pondering as to whether he can surmount the arduous task of effectively heading the Secretariat.

Like the exited Borsay and the rejected P.G.Wright, Ballah is said to be a crony of Madam Wesley with many eyebrows being raised on his nomination.

"Will he not be a remote type chief scribe", asked Jeremiah Suleh who calls himself a soccer follower.

Mr. Ballah, who turns 42 in 86 days time has a BBA in Accounting from the University of Liberia, also has a diploma in Accounting from the institute of professional studies, and served as Accountant of the LFA from 2004-2005.

Pundits say since Mr. Ballah is a highly erudite Accountant, it would be prudent to appoint him as treasurer instead of heading the secretariat which is highly delicate and reputable.

They believe that as the country yearns for progress in the new football dispensation, one heading the Secretariat should be abreast with the dialectics of contemporary football.

At the same time Mr. Mawolo T. Kpadeh has frond on those who are pursing the impeachment of Mr. Adeyoumie Caulcrick are not in the interest of improving the National football program in the country.

He noted that sports should be use to unite people, instead of building boundaries between people.
