Councillors don’t want responsibility

Councillors will not take responsibility for financial irregularities of the Bangladesh Football Federation(BFF), president of Bangladesh District and Divisional Football Associations (BDDFA) Ruhul Amin Tarafder said yesterday.

The announcement was made at a BDDFA meeting at a city hotel, where the high-ups of different District Football Associations were present to discuss the current situation after two BFF vice-presidents, Mohiuddin Ahmed Mohi and Badal Roy, alleged that there have been irregularities in income and expenditure in BFF’s three-year financial statement worth Tk 17 crore.

“We do not want to take responsibility for the irregularities. We want the BFF financial statements to be approved by the AGM but the financial reports haven’t been sent to the councillors yet. We want to see whether the allegation of financial anomalies is right by auditing reports through a professional audit firm,” said Tarafder, who is also the owner of Saif SC.
