Earlier in the year when challenged on accountability, he told off his detractors saying thus &#8220;Accountability is for members only. Stop deceiving yourselves&#8221; . Earlier this week he made another emotional outburst on social media that went as follows:<\/p>\n<div class=\"_5pbx userContent\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I have been receiving several invitations to attend End Year Parties organized by Gor Mahia Branches,n some have even planned to travel to other parts of the country na wengine outside the country&#8230;.that is very good,&#8230;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">As we hold such parties,i challenge you to pose for a moment n ask ourselves,what value have we added to the club this season worth celebrating?We are aware of the condition of the club,did we attempt to augment the efforts of the office-hata kama ni one day transport allowance of 12k,one match winning bonus of 140k,ama hata support to Junior team in whatever form?????<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Pliz spare me the old crap &#8220;branches are not recognized&#8221;&#8230;..I choose to celebrate Gor Mahia FansFoundation,Nakuru Prestige Branch,Nakuru Korfan Branch,Away Branch n Face Book Branch&#8230;.n the BBC CREW&#8230;.I can comfortably attend ur parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He went on to say that rather than spend money on end of year parties, the branches should channel the money towards the club.<br \/>\nThe post earned him a lot of ire from fans on social media with many threatening to vote him out at the next election. I suppose Omondi has pre-empted fans by stepping down in dramatic style.<br \/>\nAs far as memory serves me this is the first time a club official has resigned while expressing frustration at both the chairman and the fans.<br \/>\nThe person next in line to take over from Omondi would be either Naima Aketch or Ronald Ngala. When questioned on whether she would tale over from Omondi, Naima responded that she could not because &#8220;Gor Mahia ina wenyewe&#8221; perhaps a reference to the fact that some officials think Rachier has been running the club in a dictatorial manner without anyone else&#8217;s input.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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\/sec-gen-chris-omondi-resigns-by-sms\/\"\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>Drama ensued within the Gor Mahia executive committee as club secretary general Chris Omondi resigned apparently in frustration.
