The world football governing body Fifa has exclusively told Football Sierra Leone (FSL) that they are monitoring the situation in the country after the state’s anti-corruption agency issued a seven-day ultimate to the president Isha Johansen and secretary-general Chris Kamara of the FA to step down.
“FIFA is closely monitoring developments in relation to the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) and plans to provide the FIFA Member Associations Committee with an update on the situation at its upcoming meeting on 26 September 2018,” A FIFA spokesperson confirmed to FSL.
“FIFA continues to expect that the agreed roadmap is strictly adhered to by all parties,” the spokesperson continued.
“In this context, the Inquiry Group Sierra Leone will be visiting the country soon to conduct its investigations.”
It could be recalled that in November 2017 Fifa overturned a decision by executive members of the SLFA to set aside Johansen from office. Read More…Despite saga, FIFA still supports Johansen
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) says their latest decision is in line with its legal functions which state that public officials indicted with corruption charges must be suspended until acquitted or the proceedings against them discontinued.
The head of the ACC has however stated that if Johansen and Kamara refuse to step down further actions could be taken against them and that includes arrest.

Isha Johansen and Chris Kamara don’t have any sympathy for the game, the players, and above they don’t even have anything like integrity and they wanted to impose integrity check, let her just seat and imagine the way she was elected into office.
This woman don’t even have respect for the president and the people of sierra Leone can you imagine she hold the whole nation into Ransom without football just see how the football nation every time went for a match without winning.
If the ACC is in line with legal functions then shall it be, we don’t want corruption and this time round football MUST grow na we mama Salone.
I think we need to wipe out those people and move ahead to build up our sport activities.
Fuck to Isha and so called Fifa we need the ban cos we tired of noncense
