We were not the home team. It is the work of the police to ensure that order and decorum is maintained throughout and after the match,\u201d Bwana said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Bwana said that he is liaising with the police to ensure that the goons who perpetrated the attack on him and vandalized the match venue are apprehended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI will not rest until these goons are arrested and charged in court. They are not our fans, but criminals out to spoil the club\u2019s reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>At the same time, Bwana said the club is yet to be served with a formal communiqu\u00e9 by the Sports Stadia and Management Board (SSMB) and that they will only respond after receiving a correspondence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>During the Sunday match, irate club fans unleashed violence that resulted to wanton destruction of property shortly after the match ended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>SSMB has, on the other hand, said they will slap the club with a fine of at least Sh2.1 million shillings to repair the damages done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Meanwhile, the club has ordered striker Rama Salim to report to training on Wednesday morning following his return into the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cRama is back in the country and he has to be in training tomorrow (today). For Sserunkuma we won\u2019t release his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) unless his agent engages the club in formal negotiations.<\/p>\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\/bwana-gor-mahia-not-to-blame-for-violence\/\"\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>courtesy of the Nation Gor Mahia Secretary General George Bwana has absolved the club from blame over the violence witnessed<\/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":[],"class_list":["post-2857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2857","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=2857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
