According to a release from the State House Communication Unit, President Koroma who also doubles as President of the National Sports Council issued this strong warning after an update by members of the Seven Man Working Group on their assignment.
“The identification of delegates for the next football association congress should be done in a transparent manner. This will help to bring an end to issues affecting the game,” the President said and affirmed: “As a government, we are committed to that process. The process is the last hope of government to bring sanity to football in the country.”
He said government was aware of the potentials in football and pledged to do everything possible to restore sanity, especially in ensuring the talent and potentials of young people are actualized to the fullest.
“Football is not just about young people. We also have old folks who have developed great interest in it,” the President said as he expressed firm hopes to receive the final report that will restore ultimate sanity in the game within a limited time frame.
Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Sheku Conteh thanked the President for his timely intervention, and assured him of putting modalities in place together with the SLFA to restoring sanity in football.
He explained that the process of identifying delegates, which will take place between 10 - 17 May, 2016, will involve various stakeholders to ensure transparency in the exercise.
The latest from President Koroma could give hope to members of the football family who are still opposed to the Isha Johansen led administration which took over the affairs of the game in August 2013.
