Barely four weeks after Sports View Newspaper reported
a possible sacking of the entire staff of the Gambia Football Association, it
has been confirmed that about 25 staffs of the GFA have received their termination
letter on Wednesday February 06th, 2013.

According
to sources, the terminations, which will take effect from March 01st,
2012, were contained in dispatched letters signed by the Acting Secretary
General of The Gambia Football Association to affected staff yesterday.
The
terminated staffs include technical staff and some office employees.
The
high profiled manes advanced on the list of the terminated staff list
include National team goalkeeper coach trainer Alhagie
Marong, U-20 and National team assistant coach Lamin Sarr, U-17
coach Lamin Sambou, National team kits Manager Sanna Bojang, secretaries
such as Fatou Sambou, Fatou Ceesay, all the GFA regional coaches
and security personals to name but a few.
According
to the termination letter sent to affected staff, the GFA Normalization
Committee revealed that they have lots of outstanding debts and can’t pay staff
anymore.
The
saddest thing is that some terminated staffs are under three or five months
without salary.
It
could be noted that the proposal of sacking the entire staff of the GFA was
brought on the table by the vice chairman of the Normalization Committee during
their last executive meeting in January.
But
the proposal was not supported by some members of the Normalization Committee
and the Vice chairman expressed his readiness to go ahead with the proposal by
making an official consultation with the Ministry of Youth and Sports in a bid
to get his wish implemented.
