The Sports Act is clear that no one should serve more than two terms and if anyone dares stand against Rachier, he will be threatened by him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRachier has been saying that anything he has built he cannot allow anyone to take it away from him. He has been there since 2008 does it mean he is a Gor Mahia&#8217;s life chairman?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been wondering whether Gor Mahia are a community club or a private club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nyangi further claimed Rachier\u2019s dictatorial tendencies have denied Gor Mahia proper growth compared to other regional clubs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe should vacate office for other people now. Yes, Gor Mahia have been winning cups but what I know is that Gor Mahia are more than winning cups,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this time, we should be at the same level as Yanga SC and Simba SC, teams that have been robbing players from us. They are capable of taking our players because Gor Mahia are being run like a kiosk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe politics now at Gor Mahia is that everyone must support the \u2018deep state\u2019 and if you do not support the \u2018deep state\u2019 that is Rachier you should not be in the office in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is only one man that I will never oppose and that is Raila Amollo Odinga [the former Prime Minister].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deep state, mostly used in the political arena, is a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of policies.<\/p>\n<p>But Rachier, in a separate interview, explained why members might have opted not to challenge him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat depends on an individual&#8217;s interpretation [whether he has done a good job at Gor Mahia or not],\u201d Rachier said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have on many occasions welcomed people interested to stand against me to come forward and that was before our nomination process was closed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the nomination process ended, it emerged that I did not have an opponent. It may be because I have done a good job or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am thankful to the members who have shown confidence in me. Members should come out and elect officials to the positions that are still vacant when the time arrives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dissatisfied K\u2019Ogalo members have already threatened to take matters to the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) and stop the elections.<\/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\/judith-nyangi-says-rachier-always-threatens-his-opponents\/\"\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>Judith Nyangi, who was recently locked out of the forthcoming elections by a new procedure , has accused chairman Rachier<\/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":[102,662,493],"class_list":["post-16034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ambrose-rachier","tag-gor-mahia-elections-2020","tag-judith-nyangi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16034","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=16034"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16035,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16034\/revisions\/16035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
