Letter to the Sports Editor… Lumumba’s role in the GFA Banks Beer Knockout Cup

Jan 03, 2012 Sports

Dear Sir,
With financial sponsorship amounting to $1,000,000 from Mc Neal Enterprise of which Ministerial Advisor on Empowerment, and Member of Parliament, Odinga Lumumba is an integral part, it remains mind boggling that the individual’s financial contribution, aids in some remote way to the clarion call by the APNU- Youth Arm for the boycott of the Annual Kashif and Shanghai Tournament.
And to “rub salt further in the wound” the Government of Guyana, has as in the past continues to provide sponsorship to the Annual Tournament so, what is Mr. Lumumba up to, and by extension APNU-youth Arm?
Boycott Kashif and Shanghai because of the former’s political support for the ruling party. But support the GFA -Banks Beer KO, which is partly sponsored by a governmental individual, whose team is in the final and receives substantial financial support from the government, more than any other team.
Who is fooling whom, and for what gains? Something simply black that I cannot understand (mindset), “In words of Mr. Lester Sealey, former GFA Executive.
Orin Davis
