Gor Mahia AGM: Chance to ask questions
The Gor Mahia FC annual general meeting will be held this Sunday January 27. According to the story posted on michezoafrika, the meeting will occur at 10:30 am
George Bwana told michezoafrika that this is an opportunity for club to detail plans for the future, present the financial report and plans.
With several issues burning in the minds of fans, this is an opportunity for memebers to ask questions such as
1. How come the club does not have a coherent youth policy. Even our rivals AFC are starting to take tentative steps. And as we read recently, Azam has over 100 players in its youth program.
2. Why does the club need such a bloated EC ? Are 3 Vice Chairmen needed. Why not channel that money towards worthy endavors like youth development.
3. What is the fate of the land that was donated to the club in Embakassi ?
4. The club supposedly takes only 12% of proceeds from jersey sales. Can the deal be restructured ? In case the club has not noticed, new jersey sales are not as hot as they were before this deal.
Bloggers can add other pertinent questions here.
George bwana also announced that club elections will be held on schedule in Novermber of 2013. Which means anyone including my fellow bloggers who wants to run for office should start making their intentions known and spelling out their agenda/manifesto. This column will be happy to help any serious candidates.

Who scouted the Brazilian “WAIGANJO”? What is his current status in the club? Is this not a divide and rule tactics? Why schedule AGM on the dates when the team is on tour to its LUO NYANZA TOUR ie the same day we are playing Muhoroni fc at their backyard? Pls lets clarify the issues and let the whole EC Accompany the team to nyanza tour?
at last a meeting,lets come in big numbers and make a position known,why have we been from city? Is it our responsibility to take care of those who are climbing the flyover? We have to play all our home matches at city. Gor is bigger than Nyamweya
This is a very good opportunity. However, such important meetings need to be on Saturdays and not Sunday 10.30am as some of us could be going to chuch on Sundays, therefore being denied opportunity to participate on Sunday morning AGM.
Walter remember at the same time that we have supporters who attend church on Saturday.
Allow to belately add:
1. Sponsorship and Financial Transparency- E.g
Who are our auditors?
Does the club have sponsorship? if not why?
Why can’t the accounts be circulated at least to the branches at least every six months.
2.Renegotiation of stadium hire fees to a flat rate. 20% on gate collections is unreasonable especially for a self supporting club with probably no sponsor.
3.Security and ticket printing by office. Security is a big issue and EC must give the police more authority to handle this issue. What is the role of the stewards and why are so many engaged
4.Finally there is a need to start having membership with monthly contributions payable in advance.Of course only with proper systems and accountability in place
