It was a show of greed and a silly mistake on the player\u2019s part. However, it was also very unwise for a big club like Gor Mahia to bribe the player and not even bother to check his background,\u201d Eugine Mpolokoso, an executive member of the Dynamos, told Daily Nation Sport in an exclusive telephone interview on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cBut we could consider releasing the winger and close the case if Gor compensates us,\u201d Mpolokoso said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Dynamos received a similar amount for their midfielder Mukuka Mulenga when he moved to South African league side Mamelodi Sundowns earlier this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Mpolokoso accused Gor of failing to contact Dynamos when they started negotiations with the 20-year-old Situmbeko.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Gor Mahia officials caught up with Situmbeko during the 2013 Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup last November. Situmbeko was part of the Zambian national team that took part in the championship that Kenya hosted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThe young man has admitted to receiving USD 6,000 (Sh 300,000) from Gor Mahia officials but claims he did not understand what the money was for. We will punish him for that but Gor will also not get away with it. This is a grave offence, I assume they know the rules,\u201d Mpolokoso added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>HEAVY FINE<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The official said they will also consider reporting Gor to Fifa, where the Kenyan side may face a heavy fine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe are talking of a player who was a starter with the Zambian national team at the CHAN, Cosafa and Cecafa games and has the same potential as Mulenga,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Gor Secretary General George Bwana however said they are no longer interested in the player and they want a refund their money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Gor are also facing a separate accusations from relegated side Kakamega Homeboyz who accuse Bobby Williamson\u2019s team of \u2018stealing\u2019 their defender Harun Sakava.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThis was the second time Gor Mahia officials were secretly approaching our players,\u201d Homeboyz owner Cleophas Shimanyula lamented.
