Accountability remains cardinal to our growth – Motlogelwa

Oct 27, 2018

The Botswana Football Association’s Vice President Mr Marshlow P. Motlogelwa says accountability in Botswana football remains cardinal to association’s growth. Motlogelwa made the remarks today at the association’s Extra-Ordinary Annual General Assembly.

“We have to account for activities starting at the regional level. If the association gives you P35 000, and you can not account for it, how can we trust that you can look after P100, 000″, he said

Motlogelwa said that lack of accountability has killed many associations over the years.

He said he was delighted of the improvement made by Regional Football Association (RFA). Last year, 10 RFA did not submit their financials on time, this year We pushed well and this is the way forward.

Going forward he ask regions to be financially accountable as this will help BFA be financially credible. The financially credible organization always have trust from investors and are credible
