Former Gor Mahia chairman Fred Mwango has condemned the recent incident that culminated with the aborted club elections at the Nyayo Stadium. The former Gor boss termed the ugly incident that forced Police to lob several tear gas canisters as unfortunate, untimely and unwarranted. Mwango has subsequently called upon the top hierarchy led by club patron Raila Odinga to consider postponing or deferring the election exercise indefinitely owing to the forthcoming International assignments.
“The only way to maintain stability in the club at the moment is to defer the elections indefinitely. We can’t face continental matches with a divided house. Having new faces in the club will not guarantee peace. We are not sure whether we will get people with new ideas to steer the club to prosperity through the polls. Why are we in a hurry to hold elections? he wondered.
“If I was the club chairman, he added, I would liaise with the club patron, branches and members and convince them to postpone the election exercise indefinitely. The current office should now be left to recruit effectively ahead of the continental assignments. A new office will not bring stability. I believe the current office has achieved a lot.”
He lauded Football Kenya Federation (FKF) for intervening adding that it could have been a disaster if the federation could have ordered for a caretaker committee. The former Gor boss felt the 30 days ordered by the federation to hold election will impact negatively on the club since it will not bring guarantee stability.
Well said ….don’t wreck our club….forza Kogalo.
Mwango has a point. we should be busy with recruitments and preparations for the coming assignments instead of the sideshows of elections. there is no crisis in the management, Rachier and his team has performed well, why the urgency for elections? what will the new office do during the short time of taking the office and the start of the season due early nxt year? let us forget about this election thing, atleast for now!
good statement.
mano pachi
That’s what is needed at Gor right now.Being an experienced chairman Fred Mwango knows what it takes when dealing with club matters.Take that advice guys.
