These were positions that were created in order to bring as many wealthy or well connected officials on board as possible. These wealthy officials were then expected to support the club financially. Thus in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, these positions were occupied by ambitious political aspirants, businessmen and people at the top of corporations who were useful in getting players employment at parastatals like the Postal Corporation, Railways and KPLC. Of late however, these positions haven&#8217;t served a useful purpose. <\/p>\n<p>Additional reporting from the Nation<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia has announced that it will do away with most of the official positions within its management when the club holds its long overdue elections in August.<\/p>\n<p>This is among the decisions that the club arrived at during a virtual Executive Committee meeting held on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Presently, Gor Mahia\u2019s has a bloated management which the club now intends to whittle down.<\/p>\n<p>As per Gor Mahia\u2019s constitution, the posts which will be contested for during the election are the Chairmanship, Secretary General (who will also act as club CEO), Treasurer and Organising Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>This means that club CEO post, currently held by veteran administrator Lordvick Aduda, will be scrapped after the August elections.<\/p>\n<p>TO BE SCRAPPED<\/p>\n<p>Other posts which will no longer exist are Senior Vice Chairman, First Vice Chairman, Second Vice Chairman, Deputy Secretary General, Assistant Deputy Secretary General, Assistant Organising Secretary and Assistant Treasurer.<\/p>\n<p>Rachier, who took over from his predecessor Erastus Okul in 2009, is expected to defend his seat with other candidates also expected to contest.<\/p>\n<p>Kisumu-based engineer and the club\u2019s Second Vice Chairman George Ong\u2019udi, who a section of fans have been fronting for the top seat, recently told Nairobi News that he has not made up his mind whether or not to run for the post.<\/p>\n<p>During Tuesday\u2019s virtual meeting, the club urged its fans to register as members in their numbers so as to participate in the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia last held its elections in December 2016 at Kasarani gymnasium where Rachier won by 579 votes against his closest challenger Chrispine Omondi who got a paltry 157 votes.
