Leadership and Financial Woes Stall Liberia Chess Federation Operations

Leadership and Financial Woes Stall Liberia Chess Federation Operations

Monrovia – As the Liberia Chess Federation (LCF) approaches its anniversary on November 29 and the National Championship later this year, questions are mounting about its readiness to host these key events.

Traditionally, preparations and announcements for the championship and anniversary would already be underway. However, financial constraints and a leadership crisis appear to have paralyzed the organization’s operations, sparking concerns among stakeholders.

An insider, speaking anonymously, expressed frustration over the lack of action. “November 29 is almost here, and the National Championship 2024 announcement should have been out by now. No one seems to care because there’s no funding from anyone or anywhere,” the source lamented.

The recent resignation of LCF President Thomas Karyah and Treasurer Martin Doe has deepened the crisis, leaving critical gaps in the federation’s leadership. The insider questioned why the organization has yet to take necessary steps to prepare for these significant milestones, calling the situation “disheartening.”

“Is the lack of financial support the main reason for these challenges?” they asked during a conversation with The Investigator on Monday.

When contacted, LCF Secretary General Wilfred G. Smith admitted that the National Championship might be postponed to January 2025 due to “unforeseen circumstances.” Regarding the November 29 anniversary, Smith said the leadership would deliberate in the coming days, though he expressed doubts about holding a celebration.

“The leadership will have to meet and make a decision about the November 29 event,” Smith stated, signaling uncertainty about the federation’s ability to organize its activities amid ongoing challenges.
