Clinton Urling, former chairman of the Guyana Football Federation [GFF] Interim Management Committee [IMC], has criticized the lack of transparency for today’s Electoral Congress as well as questioned the rationale for staging an election utilizing an Extraordinary Congress.
In an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport, Urling said, “I will not be part of any slate. However, as an outside observer and Honorary Member of the Federation, who spearheaded the reforms to make the organization’s democracy and good governance apparatus as sturdy and robust as possible, the lack of transparency on this electoral congress is worrying and should not have been accepted by the membership of the Guyana Football Federation. Their silence can be interpreted to mean consent and conformity.”
In a statement on Thursday, the GFF defended its plans.
