Sierra Leone Government Makes U-Turn, Gives Musa Tombo $10,000

The Government of Sierra Leone has changed it decision not to include Musa Tombo in the presidents gift to Leone Stars if they win the match qualifying match between Benin.

In a list presented last week from the Ministry of Finance Tombo’s name was not included, which caused a public outcry as to why he wasn’t included.

In a presentation done today by the Deputy Director of the National Sports Authority Dr. Abdul Rahman Swarray, showed that Tombo was presented with a bank statement which showed payment of his own share of the $10,000 (one hundred million leones).

The National Sports Authority is responsible for the distribution of the monies to the players and technical staffs who were gifted.
