Gor Mahia management led by the chairman Mr. Ambrose Rachier on Monday September 5 met with the club’s branch chairmen at his Nairobi office to discuss a host issues concerning the current status of the reigning league champions including the team’s rough patch and the forth coming polls.
During the meeting, it emerged that midfielder Collins “Gattuso” Okoth is no longer part of Coach Jose Mercelo Ferreira “Ze Maria” future plans, since the player failed to adhere to the club’s rules as set by the manager.
The combative player is rumored to be on his way back to Tusker FC where he previously left to join the “Green Army”.
It also came out that winger Innocent Wafula has also been omitted from the team for what Ze Maria terms as lack of concentration from the former Chemelil Sugar FC prodigy.
The club pocketed Kshs 1,080,000 from the transfer of Ugandan international Khalid Aucho to Baroka FC in the Premier Soccer League in South Africa.
Other highlights of the meeting:
-Club’s polls will take place on December 4; the elections budget is estimated at Kshs 1.3M
-Jolawi Obondo, the team’s manager will face disciplinary action for using players’ money for personal campaigns
-An emergency meeting on the recent poor run by the team was held with all parties stating their grievances
-A new constitution for the club has been drafted pending adoption by the Executive Committee and members
-The club does not keep records of account since their expenditure exceeds income
K’Ogalo bounced back to winning ways over the weekend with a 3-1 thrashing of Chemelil Sugar FC at the Nyayo stadium on Saturday to keep pace with log leaders Tusker. They will play Ulinzi Stars tomorrow with a chance to cut the Brewers’ lead to just two points with a win.
