The two players will depart immediately after their Kenyan Premier League match against Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) at Kasarani.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gor Mahia Deputy Secretary General Anima Okech, the club received requests from the two to be release after\u00a0Saturday&#8217;s\u00a0match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey came to office and informed us that they will be leaving for South Africa after\u00a0Saturday&#8217;s\u00a0match. We are resigned to losing them and have to begin looking for other options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is not yet clear which club Rama (Salim) is headed to but Kevin Omondi attended trials at South African top side Ajax Cape Town two months ago. The absence of the two will be a major set-back for Gor Mahia as they seek to defend Kenyan Premier League title this season.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Gor Mahia have re-signed midfielder Collins Okoth &#8220;Gattuso&#8221; on a year long deal. He will replace Anthony Akumu who recently went to Sudan for a loan deal.<\/p>\n<p>Gattuso previously played for Gor Mahia during the Anaba Awono and Zedekiah Otieno era. But he left under acrimonious terms once accusing fans of ruining his career.<\/p>\n<p>In the period since he left Gor Mahia he has retired from football twice, has been expelled from Sofapaka, left Tusker and Banadari.<\/p>\n<p>Okoth when focused is a tenacious midfielder who will give opposing players nightmares.<\/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\/its-official-rama-and-kevin-off-to-sa-as-gattuso-returns\/\"\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 goal.com K\u2019Ogalo reveal to Goal that Rama Salim and Kevin Omondi will leave country on Saturday for South<\/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-4745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4745","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=4745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4745\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
