Below is his statement.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">All grievances were addressed, key being the CAF money which we have resolved to give players 20 percent of gross depending with outcome of remaining matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Minor discrepancies that 3 players raised over payment of bonuses will be addressed by treasury guided by the team manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Balance of 1 m from KPL will also be paid once received. As per now salaries have been paid to June 2018 while out of the 16 matches 15 winning bonuses have been paid.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Other challenges like incitement, ethnic groupings and what transpired at CECAFA will require scientific analysis but bottom line we reached a common ground in solving future disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A meeting was held between office, technical bench and all players) where items that were bringing friction were all discussed. A good understanding was reached and that means, all issues were well ironed out and we are back to normal business.\u00a0 This according to Tony Anelka.<\/p>\n<p>The team manager apologised on behalf of all players &#8211; on what happened some days back in Tanzan<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">ia and that&#8217;s water under the bridge now. The club through the chairman, explained to the players and technical bench the issues around finances and they all understood&#8230; a riot act was read and the club decided to form a committee to further investigate on what exactly led to what&#8217;s been going on and who exactly were behind it. It was thought making a rushed decision or punishing anyone right now was not appropriate because they need to be sure on what&#8217;s there. Wise decision if you ask me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Chairman Ambrose Rachier promised to get to the bottom of the issues that were causing friction in the playing unit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>&#8220;It was a good meeting and we are all happy now because we&#8217;ve at least shared or understood each other well. Further investigations will be done to establish what&#8217;s underneath then we will decide what do after getting the findings. For now, we have agreed to move as one and with the same focus we had before.&#8221;\u00a0 said Rachier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\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\/statement-from-sec-gen-ben-omondi\/\"\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>Gor Mahia secretary general Ben Omondi has come forward to assure fans that all issues that have been plaguing the<\/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":[462],"class_list":["post-10982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ben-omondi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10982","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=10982"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10986,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10982\/revisions\/10986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
