 Former Kennedy Center employees allege leadership delayed roof repairs before citing safety issues in closure decision Former Kennedy Center employees allege that the venue’s leadership knew about serious structural problems well before citing newly discovered hazards as the reason for its abrupt closure this month. The claims were outlined in a letter to Congress from a lawyer representing anonymous whistleblowers. The letter accuses the center’s executive director and chief operating officer, Matt Floca, of failing to prioritize roof repairs and stopping a funded repair plan in April. Floca disputes the allegations, saying recent inspections revealed that water damage had spread farther into the building than officials previously knew.

CAF TO MAKE CHANGES TO REGULATIONS AFTER AFCON FINAL FIASCO. (PHOTO).


 CAF to make changes to regulations after Afcon final fiasco


The Confederation of African Football said it would implement changes and improvements to its statutes and regulations that would ensure that the farcical ​scenes at January’s Africa Cup of Nations final do not happen again.


CAF ‌president Patrice Motsepe said the changes would strengthen trust and confidence in its referees, VAR operators and judicial bodies but did not give concrete details, Reuters reported.


The announcement followed a meeting of CAF's executive committee in Cairo on Sunday and came on a tumultuous day for the organisation as its general secretary resigned.


African football's governing body has been battling ⁠a crisis of confidence after its Appeal Board stripped Senegal of the Cup of Nations ​title in a decision that has been met with widespread derision.


Senegal were ruled to have ​forfeited the final in Rabat on January 18 after walking off the pitch in protest at a potentially decisive penalty awarded to Morocco. They returned and scored a goal in extra time to ​win the game 1-0.


The decision is being challenged at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and if Senegal win back their title it will be a further blow to CAF's credibility.


"CAF has ‌taken ⁠extensive legal advice from top African and international football lawyers and experts, to ensure that the CAF statutes and regulations adhere to and implement global football best practices, on and off the field," Motsepe said in a statement on Sunday.
