Kudos to the team now its work. Kudos to all members who came to vote peacefully lets replicate this all season. Kogalo mature
Congratulations Ambrose Rachier. You gave us the cup in 18 years. Give us more. I have wstched the new signings. I am happy.Lead us also into the biggest investment arm in Kenya. I like this
Admin get the facts of the election right. Where is the senior vice chair and second vice chair?
Now that the elections are over we can congratulate the winners but we can also embark on creating a lean and efficient EC. Apart from the Vice chair do we really need the other vice\deputy positions?
Am sorry to say this bloggers but gor mahia simply needs four positions – chairman, director of football, director of marketing and business development and finance director. All this rubbish I don’t understand. Lets embrace modern football management.
Kudos 2 fans & elected officials.
Have noted that AR, Kilo & Ngala have served together for 3/more terms. Okuku the asst. treasurer has also been retained. Hope continuity (of the good things) will be maintained & a wipe out of the clubs resources has been avoided.
Glad 2 see the following out Faiz, Bwana, Nyadega & Roselinder & that Sally Bolo didn’t make it.
Also good 2 note Pesa is a former MP.
All the best to the executive committee., please use your size 2 the advantage of GM FOOTBALL.
Congrats to the winners. Sasa tuache siasa tujenge club.
Im a proud member who exercised her democratic rights.kudos to the organisers and fans.it was fast and well organised.@jakoyo dont be ready to criticize everything this is 2014.congrats to the winning team.
Am happy with the maturity shown by the fans and all Gor members. I salute Hon. Pesa for making it among the officials. Surely this man has been a serious supporter of Gor and never missed any of Gor Mahia matches. With his exprience in admistration and management (Former Pricipal of high schools and colleges) I surely think that this time Rachier has found very good person to support him and make this club better. Thank you lord.
There we go now the unfinishsd job to be completed immidietely.
@jakoyo the time of politics is over…am very happy today i will sleep well knowing that we have anew kogalo.am very happy with the way elections were organised ,i just line up with my card and national id after voting i just came direct to my house,thank you so much the officials who organised it,to the people who were defeated there is always another day,let us join hands together and support our team.kogalo here we go.
Thank you @Oduori12 for being positive this time, despite your earlier preference for legends. Accept and move on! Congratulations to the elected EC.
MOST OF GABON’S PLAYERS IN CHAN ARE US BITAM’S PLAYERS,OUR OPPONENTS. TECH.BENCH MUST GET THEIR DVDS TO ANALYSE THEIR PLAY.
Mashemeji….Congratulations for the peaceful elections.
Congrads to Ambrose Rachier and ua team for winning. It was indeed free and faire election. Sasa kazi ianze tunataka okombe mingi
congrats wakili and the the newly elected officials. you have been given the mandate to complete your dream projects for the team. May you give gm the promises in your blue print.
Congrats to the people elected yesterday,what didn’t go down with me is how the other guy contesting for chairman behaved,he could just have waited for the announcement of the results not to walk out when he saw he was not winning but all in all its our way of doing things the Kenyan way,sometime we critic but if Dr Adede meant well for this club he should have agreed by the arrangement that was being drafted last week,sometimes its good to negotiate democratically,Kilo agreed to step down for Daktari for the benefit of the club but he rejected the offer since we wanted him to come as the sinour vice so that he can understudy Rachier for 2yrs for the good succession n continuity but he rejected that but all in all let all of us accept and move on for the benefit of this great club
God is faithful, he did not want our team to fall. Thank you Lord.
Congrats Semeji 4 the well organised elections, sasa anzeni kazi ya kutafuta no. 2
congratulations wakili full fill your dreams for this great club. we need our stadium, insurance for the players & most important serious sponsor which is football oriented. May God guide you as assume your responsibility. K’ogalo forever.
@ingo,
you have now seen how things are done. Please AFC to follow suit next time they have elections.
Unlike your team we only had black smoke once. We now have white smoke. There cannot be better news
Congratulations to the new office. You have all been following this blog and the comments members have been making all through. You know where the problems are and you should not wait to be reminded because when we start shouting here, you will not like it. So do it,fix them like yesterday, now you have the mandate.
The best thing that you have there in your midst is the widely experienced elder in John Pesa.He should bring in the elderly wisdom in the executive.
bill@19…..those words you have mentioned in your last sentence may just come back to haunt you!!!!
That was a huge step of maturity. Keep it up. I hope the same will be seen during the matches. NO HOOLIGANISM!
It is not my norm to react to these AFC Leopards die hards but let Bill and his ilk be told that we can even be number eight or altogether get relegated but we’ll still bounce back and life continues..Remember its just football.
Congrats to Wakili Ambrose Rachier and his team for the victory as the great Chairman of the big football team in East and Central Africa.
Kudos to all fans that voted peacefully and may the Almighty God bless them abundantly for maintaining peace and tranquility during the exercise.
May also the Almighty God give Gor Mahia victory in all our games this season (KPLC Charity, KPL, GoTV, KPL Top 8, CAF Champion League etc).
I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen and Amen.
@ 17 Erico J. To me its good Adede stuck to his guns & was defeated fair & square. 4 one it shows the confidence he had in himself/his policies but also any negotiated settlement would have diluted AR’s mandate. He also got a good % of the vote so he was definately heard.
Most likely we would have 2 “equal & opposing” camps in the executive, one loyal to the Chair & the other to the V.Chair. That my friend is a recipe for chaos.
Welcome new office. I would like to share the article below with all our new Gor Mahia elect office bearers.
In a sermon early in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. quoted Jesus’ words from Mark 10 about servanthood. Then he said, “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. . . . You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.”
When Jesus’ disciples quarreled about who would get the places of honor in heaven, He told them: “Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:43-45).
I wonder about us. Is that our understanding of greatness? Are we gladly serving, doing tasks that may be unnoticed? Is the purpose of our serving to please our Lord rather than to gain applause? If we are willing to be a servant, our lives will point to the One who is truly great. —Vernon Grounds
No service in itself is small,
None great, though earth it fill;
But that is small that seeks its own,
And great that does God’s will. —Anon.
It is now time to start service to our great club and it is my prayer that our Lord will give you wisdom, knowledge and understanding to lead this great club to greater heights.
Congratulation comrades for the peaceful election,,,,,Wacha season ianze sasa…tukutane uwanjani!
Congratulations are in order for the elected team. For those who lost, take heart. We are all winner for Gor Mahia belongs to ALL of us.
Wakili and the team, sasa ni kuchapa kazi. Pastor Mwakio, in your prayers you forgot to mention Cecafa Kagame cup. Kindly include it in your prayers as I say AMEN.
For God and my beloved club – Kogallo
Congratulations to the new team. My advice is that in matters of leadership, there are ropes to be learned. Especially the people coming in, please do not try to bulldoze even if you have the brightest ideas. Remember that it takes a collective effort. That is why you are a team. Secondly,matters of the board room that we do not need to know, please keep them there. What we need to know please use the laid down procedures and I am sure you will be a great team. You have challenged us as supporters. The peaceful elections is a pointer that during the season, we must carry ourselves peacefully but still be very passionate about our Team.Let us not let each other down. The team I saw playing a friendly on saturday, is rearing to go.It was a beautiful game.
Admin, the elected OFFICIALS are as follows:-
Chairman – Ambrose Rachier
Senior Vice Chairman – Francis Wasuna
1st Vice Chairman – John Pesa
2nd Vice Chairman George Ongundi
Secretary General – Chris Omondi
Deputy Secretary General – Anima Oketch
Asst. SEC. General – RONALD NGALA.
Treasurer – Ken Otieno
Asst. Treasurer – Gerphas Okuku.
Organizing Secretary – David Kiilo
Asst Organizing Secretary – Jack Orowe
deputy secretary general and assistant secretary general and senior vice chairman,1st vice chairman and 2nd vice chairman….are all these posts really necessary?wont there be a duplication of roles here??
why dont we also get deputy treasurer and deputy organising secretary so that we can be even with the other posts?
the demands of the fans cannot allow for a lean office. devolution is a must.
just like kenjwa ni(our Kenya), we went for devolution because Kenyans were too demanding.
lets hope they will not overtax us to find the positions
Now that Kiongera and Lavatsa have gone yet we had them in our plans can we get the unsettled Wendo to fill the gap?. How about Ochomo, though I know he had discipline issues at Ulinzi? Even Gattuso is now a free agent. I hope he matures though.
I know the TB is competent on these matters but that is my wish as a layman.I also know that there must be a limit to the number of players we can have as well as field only 11 at a time. Maybe i am being greedy.
Bring Gaucho back
Hehehehe Dan Original, are you out of your mind. What value will Ochomo and Gatuso add to Gor Mahia?
and what was BABA doing there did he also participate in elections? is yes that’s a good gesture from Jackom .Congratulation to all elected leaders
