Martin Bangura has been confirmed as President of the Sierra Leone Athletics Association, following an investigation into the recently concluded elections that initially saw him elected as President.
A team arrived from headquarters, led by Major Jackson Tuwey, CAA senior vice president of the CAA, to investigate the alleged malpractice of the elections. This investigation has now concluded.
Major Jackson appreciated the sports stakeholders, including the sports ministry and the national sports association.
He said there is indeed a problem in the association, which made them to come and investigate and help to resolve. This took them three days to complete, culminating in a roadmap that will help the association progress, to which all the parties agreed.
Martin Bangura, the new president of SLAA, said it was not easy as athletics was indeed struggling, hence the happiness over the successful outcome of the meeting with the delegation from the international federation.
