WINDHOEK, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- The FIFA Normalisation Committee for Namibian Football has called on Namibia Football Association (NFA) members to submit reports and results of their leadership committees' elections in order to assist with the normalisation of the mother body, NFA has announces Thursday.
As per their mandate, one of the tasks of the FIFA Normalisation Committee is to act as an electoral committee for the new executive committee of the NFA. The executive committee would be elected once elections at the member level has been finalized.
The plan is to know who has conducted the elections and where those members genuinely constituted and also see to it that we assist others to elect regional or member level leadership, chairlady of the FIFA Normalisation Committee Hilda Basson-Namundjebo said.
"This will then inform us on how we process in terms of getting to the Association's Executive Committee Elections as per our mandate," Basson-Namundjebo explains.
The NFA Secretariat last week sent out a memo to the NFA members to provide Executive Committee members, dates of elections and indication of terms of office, so that the information can be verified.
"We have received some feedback and we are now busy verifying this information to make sure that they were done according to the policies and procedures that guides them. We call for increased transparency and due diligence during this time to enable us to get members in good standing which will enable us to deliver a free, fair and credible election," Basson-Namundjebo said.
FIFA Council on February 8 announced the Normalisation Committee that will be heading the NFA and the focal person to ensure good standing with the Football Association is the vice chairperson of the committee Franco Cosmos.
The committee members are Hilda Basson-Namundjebo (chairperson), Franco Cosmos (vice-chairperson) while other committee members are Gabby Ahrens, Matti Mwandingi and Vivienne Katjiuongua.
