Raila Odinga family plans to buy Gor Mahia – Weekly Citizen

Talks have it that the family of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is scheming to control larger shares at Gor Mahia football club which is on the verge of turning  into a Company.

The club management has announced a special general meeting on 9^th of April where a change of constitution to transform Gor into a company will be one of the main agenda.

The move comes barely a few days after Raila’s daughter Winnie Odinga was appointed the head of Media and Publicity at the club.

Keen observers are now reading a scenario where the opposition leader Raila who doubles as the club’s patron could be a man of active interest on the business front at the 17-time Kenyan champions.

When Raila offered to cough up millions in buying veteran striker Denis ‘The Menace’ Oliech into the

club many did not read signs that the family was steadily gaining control of the club.

Oliech is pocketing about Ksh3 million in transfer fee plus a monthly salary of Ksh300, 000, money the club’s patron and Kenya’s opposition Chief Raila Odinga will cough up.
