The Ethics Board of the Sierra Leone Football Association has just reinstated the General Secretary of the FA (Christopher Kamara), after he was exonerated from the accusations of ‘obstructing the activities of the Board.’
In a letter addressed to the Chris Kamara, the Chairman of the Ethics Board Lawyer Drucil Taylor said that they found no wrongdoing by the General Secretary that warranted their action to suspend him.
“On the basis of your response as contained in your letter dated 12h February 2022, the response of the President of the Executive Committee of the SLFA aforementioned respectively the content of which was confirmed in the subsequent meeting with the Executive Committee we therefore lift the said suspension with immediate effect as it is now clear to us that you did not, whether by your actions or omission, obstruct the Ethics Board in performing its functions.”
Statement from the Ethics Board Chairman, Drucil Taylor
It can be recalled that the General Secretary of SLFA was suspended from office in a letter addressed to him by the Board on the 11th February 2022, for what they referred to as ‘obstructing the Board’s activities.’
The Board’s decision was viewed as ‘ultra vires’ and out of way, because the decision to approve their budget of over 390 Million Leones to investigate 3 pending matters, must come the Executive Committee of the FA, not the General Secretary as they wrongfully assumed.
The Board however failed to apologise to the respectable General Secretary, despite being reinstalled.
Mr. Kamara has always maintain innocence of any wrongdoing, and has been doing due diligence in all his duties at the FA.
