Gor Mahia suspend secretary Ocholla over letter endorsing FKF/StarTimes deal

The Kenyan champions have moved to take action against their own official with few days remaining before season kicks-off

Gor Mahia have now cracked the whip by suspending club secretary Sam Ocholla after he allegedly wrote a letter to endorse Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and StarTimes deal without consulting other officials.

K’Ogalo chairman Ambrose Rachier has confirmed the suspension of the official, who was only elected to office on August 8, 2020, and further said it had the blessing of the club’s patron Raila Odinga.

“We have suspended our secretary Sam [Ocholla] pending his explanation in regards to the letter he wrote to StarTimes purporting to endorse the deal with FKF, but if he gives satisfactory defence we will lift it,” Rachier told a press conference in Nairobi on Tuesday.
