particularly as a result of the latest revelations, Mr. Deol asked in a column in response to the AFC statement: "I would like to know if Kuan had lodged a formal complaint to AFC president Sheikh Salman Ibrahim Al Khalifah regarding the matter. If yes, did Salman take any steps to address the issue? After all, his promise, when made president in 2013 was to initiate reforms. Also, shouldn't Pride have reported it to FIFA?... What about the...revelations made by PwC? There is a lot of explaining to do. We are stakeholders and we demand answers. Silence is not an option."The attempted burial of the audit and the AFC's non-transparent handling of Mr. Kuan's assertions are noteworthy given the corruption and integrity crisis global that has enveloped soccer governance in the last four years. The squashing of the PwC audit has meant a lack of good governance within the AFC on multiple levels.In one example, Gaurav Thapa, the son of Ganesh Thapa, who has been suspended by FIFA pending an investigation into corruption charges, was appointed AFC match commissioner despite having been named in the PwC audit as one of numerous recipients of questionable payments by Mr. Bin Hammam. ""All of the Nepalese associations' affairs are run by Thapa. Everything is handled by his buy fifa coins son. We don't know anything. We just know that he is match commissioner. The Nepalese federation did not nominate him," said Karma Tsering Sherpa, vice-president and an executive committee member of the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA), in a telephone interview.Mr. Sherpa together with ANFA vice president Bijay Narayan Manandhar said in a February 15 letter to Robert J. Torres, a member of the ethics committee of FIFA's investigatory chamber, FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke, and Mr. Soosay that Ganesh Thapa in violation of ANFA's statutes and despite his suspension was keeping ANFA executives "in the dark" about the group's affairs, including audits of "unappropriated cash movements" and an ethics committee investigation.Members of the ANFA board charged this week that Mr Thapa despite his suspension had barred the association's acting president, Lalit Krishna Shrestha, and general secretary Dhirendra Pradhan from attending the Bahrain congress. The association instead sent Mr. Thapa's brother in law, Mani Kunwar, who is also a member of the board. Asked whether the fact that he was the only head of an Asian soccer association not to have been nominated for the AFC Congress, Mr. Shrestha said in a telephone interview: "I agree with your logic.
