Club official David Kilo confirmed that Sportpesa would like to familiarize branch officials with certain issues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes the meeting has been scheduled between branch officials and the sponsor to interact with them on issue of the club and sponsor activities&#8221;, Kilo said.<\/p>\n<p>A section of Branch officials were reported to be disgruntled at how the club is being run and also unhappy that the clubs keeps postponing key issues especially the Special General Meeting, club elections and constitutional reforms.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting is on Friday 7th October 2016 at Nyayo National Stadium &#8211; Nairobi at 2:00pm. Each branch is invited to send a representative to attend the meeting.<\/p>\n<h3>Complaints<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Earlier, fifteen branch chairmen led by Kondele\u2019s Hezron Okoth expressed concerns with the current office\u2019s reluctance to call for elections before demanding that the process be held by the end of next month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe have explored so many other channels but to no success and that is why we have come out to the media. Elections in this club were supposed to be held in February, but up to now nobody has called for the Annual General Meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe received a notice for a Special General Meeting last week only for it to be postponed without explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Addressing the matter, club secretary general Ronald Ngala assured members that elections will be held in due time. He refuted claims that the officials were deliberately delaying the process for selfish reasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot that is happening right now. We have the club licensing deadline to beat and that is why we have had to come up with a new constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe called for the SGM last week and one of the agendas was for members to pass the constitution and also to agree on a date for the elections. It is the branch chairmen themselves who asked for more time but elections will be held as soon as we are ready,\u201d he said.<\/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\/sportpesa-invites-gor-mahia-branch-officials\/\"\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>Gor Mahia&#8217;s shirt sponsors Sportpesa have invited branch officials for a discussion.
