Chairman Ambrose Rachier told the Nation newspaper that they would like to close out this issue by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have learned our lessons and this time round we want to do things differently. We have already started negotiations with the players whose contracts are running out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is however a great challenge to us because it requires a huge amount of money in terms of sign-on fees and salaries for the players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like us to settle this matter with the players before the end of this year so that we can have everyone registered for the Caf competition, as opposed to previous years where some of our best players have had to miss the competition due to late registration,\u201d Rachier said<\/p>\n<p>And according to CEO Ludovick Aduda, Tuyisenge is being pursued by Rwanda APR while Walusimbi is being pursued by Orlando Pirates of South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis are our valuable players who we cannot afford to lose and are working round the clock to have them agree new contracts,\u201d Aduda said. \u201cWe already have had preliminary talks with Tuyisenge and he is showing positive signs of staying with the club and should engage Walusimbi who returns to the country at the weekend and we believes we will convince the two to stay,\u201d he said to the Nation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-scramble-to-renew-contracts\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having sealed the 2017 Kenya premier league title, Gor Mahia&#8217;s next task is to renew the contracts of six key<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[130,112],"class_list":["post-10096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-gor-mahia-signings","tag-gor-mahia-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10096"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10097,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10096\/revisions\/10097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
