: Basketball Federation President is violating the Federation's constitution.
By Malok Awur Chep
South Sudanese think that, I am opposing President of South Sudan Basketball Federation, Luol Deng, but no, I am not opposing him. I am trying to brings him closer to the constitution and work inline with what the constitution says and leave wrong advices given to him by people with personal interest.
To make my point clear. I don’t want President Luol to step down, while he is the only man who have really put smiles on our faces as South Sudanese. He deserves appreciation and congratulations for putting South Sudan on the world map.
I was calling him to know at the end of the day, he will still face the same law.
“Another violation of South Sudan Basketball Federation’s Constitution” by Luol Deng, the President of SSBF.
South Sudan Basketball Federation constitution, Article 24, duties of Finance Secretary, subsections 13.51 says; the secretary of finance shall generate the revenue through sponsorship, improve budgeting process, supervises and monitor the financial management and to ensure implementation of the policy and decision of the executive.
With that legal statement above, the President acted out of the laws and the General Assembly of the federation is watching and President Luol will face the consequences of violating the constitution.
The Federation constitution details everything and separate all the works and powers. And President Luol with his team, decided to put constitution aside and use their own words to act without consulting members of General Assembly, which is the supreme body that oversees the performance of the federation executives.
I am arguing MTN telecommunications, to seek legal opinions from the legal advisors of the federation.
Luol and his team are working for the down fall of South Sudan Basketball Federation’s and strengthen his initiatives;Luol Deng Foundation and Manut Bol Basketball Court located inside University of Juba. With all these violations made. It's a clear indication of destroying the national institution.
in 2021, Zain offerred to sponsor local Basketball tournaments in the country. The sponsorship deal was nullified by Luol and Sport Minister, Albino Bol Dhuei. Why did the allow “MTN” to sponsor Federation while the refuse sponsorship of zain last time. It is clear indication, that Luol mobilize more money in the name of federation and the institutions is not benefiting from it.
Attached are the Zain Cheque (check) being suspended by the two brothers, Hon. Minister, Dr. Albino Bol and President Luol Deng.
Inclusion; I am asking the President to put the deal on hold and call general assembly meetings for endorsement of that great sponsorship. Or, he can lift the suspension of Finance Secretary to sign the documents according to the constitution you are operating.
