Coach Bobby Williamson said he is not aware of the issue as he was concentrating on preparing the team. \u201cThere is nothing like disgruntlement in the camp. The players are determined to play even for nothing for Gor Mahia. It is a big honour for them to even wear the team\u2019s jersey. \u201cHaving said that, however, those matters are best addressed by the administrators. My work is to prepare the team on the pitch and ensure they get the best results,\u201d he told the Standard.<\/p>\n<p>A section of players were reported to be unhappy with the officials for not paying them part of the prize money the team was entitled to and want the matter addressed urgently. On Sunday night, reports emerged that the players wanted to boycott training to show their displeasure but this did not happen and they trained normally on Monday morning at City Stadium. A senior player told the Standard that they are disgruntled over the matter and it is affecting their morale. The player who asked not to be named for fear of victimisation said: \u201cWe were expecting to get half of the prize money as players and leave the remainder to the office but three months down the line there has been no information over the same. The players are demoralised and want this matter to be sorted out quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Ngala denies report<\/h3>\n<div>Gor Mahia Deputy Secretary General Ronald Ngala also disputed the reports and pointed out that the issues are emerging only because the team lost to Nakuru Top Fry. \u201cI am not surprised that such reports have emerged. I want to state categorically that there is no truth in them as we have found out from our investigations. \u201cWe talked to the captain and he assured us the players are happy and ready to give their best on the pitch. This is all coming up because we lost the match on Saturday. If we had won, there would be no such reports,\u201d said Ngala.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The official said Gor players were never promised anything from the KPL and GOtv Shield prize money. \u201cIn 2012 when the team finished runners-up, we decided to pay the players Sh1million as consolation. \u201cFor last year\u2019s prize money, we have not yet made a decision on how to divide it but when that happens the players will be informed as appropriate,\u201d said Ngala to the Standard<\/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\/conflicting-reports-from-gor-mahia-camp\/\"\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>Whereas there have been reports of is disquiet among players in the Gor Mahia camp over unpaid bonuses accruing from<\/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-4233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4233","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=4233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4233\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
