Gor Mahia football club must own up and apologize for the
violence and the destruction of property caused by their fans after the team
failed to win the Kenyan Premier League title. Football stakeholders among them
the Football Kenya Federation and team sponsors Tuzo, have challenged the club
to take necessary steps to avoid pushing corporate away. Gor fans were accused
of vandalism along Jogoo road on Saturday, after a 1-1 draw against Thika
United denied them the trophy.
Tuzo through the parent company Brookside Dairy Limited,
condemned the acts of hooliganism, adding that the incident is likely to
jeopardize the relationship with the club. According to the dairy company, Gor
Mahia should issue a public apology and give an assurance that such acts would
not happen. Gor Mahia club had itself to blame, as the title was theirs to
lose. They now go for the 18th year without a trophy, although
credit goes to their coach for lifting them from relegation to just a whisker
away from lifting the trophy. But just as sad, ‘Almost doesn’t count’.
