Buxton United Secretary, Eton Moses, has challenged the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) to show via a constitutional matrix, how the proposed amendments that could be ratified at the August 27th congress, would improve governance and transparency of the entity.
Moses spoke to Stabroek Sport in an exclusive interview. According to Moses, “Recently, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has sought to weaponise advice it requested from FIFA in defence of its objective in the constitutional reform process. Buxton United Football Club (BUFC) was singled out as political and its submission to the Constitutional Review Committee was subject to some form of assessment by persons/agencies outside of Guyana. It is against the aforementioned, that Buxton United FC has agreed to address the notion that independence of thought makes you the enemy at the GFF.” He added, “At the commencement of the process, the GFF membership was told that the review of the constitution was to get it aligned with CONCACAF and FIFA Statutes. The Members were further told that the process was to improve governance and transparency. BUFC sinned when it enquired of the GFF to say which were the specific articles in CONCACAF and FIFA Statutes that the proposed amendments to the GFF Constitution were mirroring. Can the GFF and its foreign counterpart please inform the GFF Members where in CONCACAF and FIFA Statutes it can be found that if a member is late for a Congress, he/she may be allowed to be part of the debate or may be allowed to vote. What improved governance and or transparency is this amendment aligned to?”
