As many Liberians struggle to find jobs in the country, President Joseph N. Boakai has appointed Senegalese Alioune Kebe as Ambassador-At-Large for Youth and Sports Development.
Monrovia —
The news of Kebe's appointment has been greeted with mixed feelings among sports lovers in Liberia and former players of the national football team. Many have wondered why the Chief Patron of Sports would choose a foreigner over all Liberian sports enthusiasts, stakeholders, and former players. The decision of the president seems to have sent a message that he doesn't trust the veterans of the country who have contributed to the development of sports in Liberia.
Investigations by FrontPageAfrica have shown that Kebe has not been involved with football or sports in Liberia for long, contrary to assertions in his appointment letter that he has been dedicated and committed to developing sports in Liberia and youth through his training program. Our sports desk has been informed that Kebe doesn't own the Kebe Goalkeeper Academy as has been circulating in the media; rather, it is owned by Nathaniel Sherman, who is finalizing documentation for Kebe to have a share in the academy.
