Letter to the Sport Editor…Support Alfred King for GFF President

Apr 11, 2013 Sports

 

 

Dear Editor,
Please publish our letter in your widely read newspaper.
Football is one of the premier sport disciplines in Guyana.  However, the Football fraternity is disgust and tired of allegations of corruption.
Never can we support Aubrey “Shanghai” Major of the Annual Kashif and Shanghai Football Tournament in Guyana.
The Organisers of the “Kashif and Shanghai” tournament never supplied an audited Financial Statement.  They always owe people after the tournament.  Twenty three years of no accounts.
We also see pictures in the press with them receiving ‘big cheques’ but never revealed the amount that they received from a single sponsor.  In recent years their support has been dwindling.  So we must not support Aubrey Major.
The Georgetown Football Association is trying and did well against the Aubrey Major/Klass Corruption.
However, we in Guyana, Linden, Berbice, West Demerara, Georgetown and East Coast  must vote with the Guyana Referee Association for Mr. “Clean and Thorough” Alfred King.
Alfred King is a highly successful President of the Referee Association.  He certainly motivate, plan and organize so that our Referees are better prepared for all the challenges.
Alfred King knows football.  He has a reputation in the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport to be accountable to the Auditor General and people of this country.
King’s influence to solicit from corporate citizens is always followed by accountability, transparency and genuine mileage.
We will call on the Guyana Football fraternity to support the Gentleman with a vision, a man with integrity for the position as President of the Guyana Football Federation.
We further recommend that there must be a term limit for the Presidency.
David Stoby
