The issue of over budgeting is become alarming, especially when it has to do with budgeting for the National Team, Leone Stars, for international competition.
The main question now is who is responsible for this anomaly.
Over budgeting at the Secretariat has been going on for years but the President of SLFA Nahim Kadi has denied knowledge of this act.
This has created a lot of problems for the government, as the bills have now become a burden for government to honour.
The most recent case is the budget prepared for the forth coming encounter with the Super Eagles, which amounted to Four Hundred and Twenty-Two (422) Million Leones.
When the Director of Sports, Bai Kabia decided to go through the budget he discovered that the prices for most of the items were inflated.
The SLFA Secretariat has also been involved in the inflation of tickets for foreign based players.
In order to ensure that a proper budget is prepared, the Director of Sports has decided to handle the tickets for the players, which was half the amount earlier budgeted whilst the preparation for hotels in Nigeria would be handled by the Sports Council
