The Kenyan champions are yet to secure travel tickets for their trip to Kigali for the first leg match on Saturday
Gor Mahia are stranded in Nairobi and could miss their trip to Kigali to face APR in the preliminary match of the Caf Champions League on Saturday.
Goal can now reveal the team’s plans to travel to Rwanda on Wednesday have hit a snag because they are yet to purchase tickets and test players and officials for Covid-19.
Another source who did not want to be named has told Goal the team can only travel on Friday as there are no flights to Rwanda on Thursday.
“I am very disappointed and cannot call this my club, the club I love because I fear that the club standards are going down,” said the source.
“The players have not trained today [Wednesday] because they are asking for money, they have not been paid and also even the mandatory test for Covid-19 for the travelling party has not been conducted, I fear APR will beat us.”
When reached for comment, FKF, CEO Barry Otieno told Goal they are ready to help the clubs secure tickets and travel for the first match in Kigali, but only if they write to them formally.
“We have been informed of Gor Mahia’s situation and are ready to cover for the team’s air tickets to Rwanda using funds from FKF Premier League sponsors,” Otieno told Goal on Wednesday.
“The federation’s proposal has been shared with Gor Mahia club officials and we are awaiting feedback from them.”
Before suspending SG Sam Ochola, the matter of whether Rachier was even eligible for election and is legally in office should be determined.
He may not even have the powers to suspend a validly elected Secretary General.

Surprisingly according to the registrar,Sports registrar Rose Wasike, even club chairman *Ambrose Rachier failed to give* a clearance certificate from Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) as well as *the certificate of clearance from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation.*
Sasa where the money from the imaginary kes.30 million media rights deal that Rachier & Co. are making noise about.
Mr. “Chairman” stop the shenanigans and side shows as you are putting in serious jeopardy Gor Mahia’s chances of qualifying for the kes. 55m CAF CL group stage.
That money is only 4 matches away.
FOCUS PLEASE!
Kindly my fellow friends, stop mentioning Mugabe’s name in matters pertaining to GM. You will start developing cardiac related diseases in as far as our loved GM is concerned.
Tumechoka na huyu jamaa. But as they say everything that has the beginning has its end. Lets continue praying!!!!!
Mugabe must go
ADOR will kill this club on his way out
