Kashif &Shanghai responds to newspaper article

Aug 19, 2011 Sports

 

The Kashif and Shanghai organisation has responded to the story published in the Wednesday August 17, 2011 issue of the Stabroek News headlined “Kits or Court”.
The story alluded to the non receipt, up to this time, of the prizes which the Sports Promotion Company Plus One publicly undertook to make available to the Clubs that successfully participated in the 2010/2011 Annual Kashif and Shanghai Football Tournament.
The Kashif and Shanghai Organization stated in a release that:
In response, we wish to state the following:
1. As the sponsor of the tournament and the entity that engaged the PLUS ONE organization and brokered the agreement regarding the prizes, we recognize and acknowledge our particular responsibility in this matter.
2. It will be recalled by those Clubs that attended the awards ceremony at the conclusion of the tournament earlier this year that a representative of the PLUS ONE organization was present at the event and personally distributed vouchers to representatives of the winning Clubs, which act, in our view, established what we believed to be the seriousness of PLUS ONE’s commitment.
3. The PLUS ONE organization has also entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Guyana Football Federation.
4. Several months have passed since the agreed date for the delivery of the agreed prizes and up to this time the commitment has not been honoured.
5. The Kashif and Shanghai Organization has been in frequent communication with the PLUS ONE organization and the various promises that have been made to dispatch the prizes to Guyana have not been honoured. Additionally, we have communicated to the PLUS ONE organization the concern of the Clubs over the non receipt of the promised prizes.
6. The Kashif and Shanghai Organization has enlisted the support of the Guyana Football Federation in seeking to bring a satisfactory resolution to this matter and continues to look to the Federation for its support.
7. The Kashif and Shanghai Organization will continue to impress upon the PLUS ONE organization the importance of honouring their commitment and the concern of the affected Clubs in the matter.
8. The Kashif a Shanghai Organization continues to be fully cognizant of its responsibility in this matter but can do no more at this juncture other than appeal to the Clubs to allow us to make every effort to address the matter to finality.
Odinga Lumumba threatened legal action in the article if the promised kit prize was not delivered shortly.
