Gor Mahia club chairman Ambrose Rachier revealed that the club will not appeal against CAF sanctions and fine imposed on them and their two players for the chaos witnessed in Zambia on February 21 after they were eliminated from the CAF Confederations Cup by Napsa Stars of Namibia.
CAF, in a letter to Gor wants players Kenneth Muguna and Boniface Oluoch to pay Sh3 million fines for assaulting match referee as well as serve a four-match ban from the continental show.
‘’We have not been fined as a club. The fine and the four-match ban were slapped on the two players and not the club. We are not appealing this decision,’’ the chairman explained.
The East African heavyweights were also ordered to reach out to Napsa Stars and agree on how they’ll settle the costs of damaged windows of their dressing room by Gor players and the club boss agreed to reach out to the Namibian side and agree on how to settle the damages caused.
Despite the fines being directed to the players K'Ogalo's chairman wondered on how the continental football governing body will recover the heavy fines imposed to the duo.
Rachier however admitted that the duo were on club duty at the time of the incident and that they are some of the most ‘dependable players’ in the club and that they will convene a special sitting to discuss how they will go about the issue.
Gor Mahia will be travelling to Western Kenya to clash Vihiga United at the Mumias Complex on Thursday ,May 27 in a must win duel that may act as a decider on their fate of next season's CAF competitions.
