Fifteen staffers of the Musa Bility’s Liberia Football Association (LFA) were on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 dismissed from the employ of the Liberia Football Association (LFA).


The affected employees include 10 staffers from the Secretariat, who were assigned at the LFA headquarters, located on Benson Street and five security personnel, assigned at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS) on UN Drive. All of the five dismissed security personnel worked for the LFA for more than 11 years, while the remaining sacked employees were at the employ of the LFA, between two to seven years.

According to the letter, the staffers were redundant to get rid of over crowdedness on the pay-roll at the LFA.

When contacted one of the affected employees, Francis Wah, former driver of the LFA secretariat, confirmed report of their dismissal.

Mr. Wah said: “As of the 31st of January, 2012 we were no longer employees of the LFA, according to our letter of dismissal….interestingly, the letter never state when our back-pay and civil servants pay we have worked over the years will be given us…so we have agreed to go the Labor Ministry for redress.”

It can be recalled, at the Musa Bility’s Renaissance Communication Incorporated (RCI), 14 staffers were recently sacked for “administrative reasons.”

Reports also gathered that the LFA boss had refused to let-go the second badge of employees owing to “personal interest.”

The expected affected employees are Prince Forfor and Roland Deshield, Musa Bility’s Chief of Office Staff and Office Attendant as well as Aletha Massaquoi, Account Clerk.

Others are Yudu Miller, Special Assistant to Vice President for Administration Musa Shannon; Anthony Gbor, Special Assistant to Vice President for Operation Adolph Lawrence and a female receptionist.

“We were not born to work for the LFA, so we can not force ourselves to work for the LFA, all we want is our back pay and civil servants benefits…or else there will be a resistant,” the sack employees said.

When contacted the LFA Secretary General, Yanqueh Borsay, on both his Lonestar and Cellcom numbers (512523), they were continuously switch-off up to press time yesterday.
