MONROVIA – Monrovia witnessed the 27th Ordinary Congress of the Liberia Football Association (LFA) held over the weekend at the new LFA headquarters, where over 100 accredited stakeholders were present. By: Christopher C.Walker [email protected] 0777898224/0886723075The Congress passed a US$6.4 million budget and approved several proposals to the statute of the LFA. According to Chapter 19, Article 33 of the revised LFA statute, Congress is the highest decision-making body and represents the interests of all LFA members. However, statistics taken by the reporter indicated that about 90% of stakeholders who attended the 27th Ordinary Congress did not study the Congressional Documents, and about 30% of stakeholders were interchangeably out of the Congress Hall. Critics rated the organization of the 27th Ordinary Congress as averagely good, but said that stakeholders sold their birth rights by bargaining with the LFA on all proposals and reports without asking necessary questions.
