K\u2019Ogalo deputy secretary reveals to Goal that they had written to the federation requesting their match against GFE 105 is put off but were dismissed<\/p>\n
Gor Mahia are now accusing Football Kenya Federation (FKF) of using non-sporting reasons in denying them a postponement of Sunday’s GOtv Shield match against GFE 105 at Moi Stadium, Kisumu.<\/p>\n
It is now emerging that K\u2019Ogalo<\/em> had last Thursday asked for a postponement quoting article 9.5 of Kenyan Football rules which stipulate that a match can be postponed if a team has one player on national team duty.<\/p>\n “We asked for the match to be called off because we felt it was unfair to play without more than four of our first team players. Our request was rejected on the basis that all arrangements had been made to host the fixture and so we had no choice but to honour it,” Gor Mahia Deputy Secretary General Ronald Ngala told Goal<\/strong> on Monday.<\/p>\n In rejecting their request for a postponement, FKF seemed to give non-sporting reasons for the refusal.\u00a0In a letter to Gor Mahia from Kenya FA Secretary General Michael Esakwa he says:<\/p>\n \u201cWe wish to inform you that the federation in conjunction with our broadcast sponsors SuperSport have already lined up the match for live television coverage and all necessary logistics have already been finalised and broadcast satellites already secured.<\/p>\n “Therefore, the federation hereby wishes to inform you that we are not in a position to postpone the match as per your request.”<\/p>\n Gor Mahia were bundled out of the knock out competition after falling to minnows GFE 105 on post match penalties.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
