Pay up or watch me leave! Star striker issues Gor Mahia with ultimatum

South Sudan international Tito Okello has issued Gor Mahia with an ultimatum to clear his dues or he will walk out of the club at the end of the current FKF Premier League campaign.The record league champions are in serious financial crisis and as such they have not paid their players for the last couple of months. This has resulted to three players waling out on the team. They are; Kenneth Muguna who moved to Azam in Tanzania, Charles Momanyi who is Tusker FC bound and Clifton Miheso.More players have threatened to walk out at the end of the current campaign; Among them is Burkinabe midfielder Karim Abdoul, goalkeeper Gad Mathews and defender Joachim Oluoch and now Okello says he will out of the club that he joined at the start of the season from Vipers if they do not settle his dues.“The club is in a deep mess and I’m planning to quit. I’m a foreigner and I can’t survive outside my home country without a salary. I have to settle bills and I have a family to take care of. I’m demanding some good money and I think I might as well be playing my last games here,” he told the Star. Mara Sugar equalize against Gor Mahia from the penalty spot.

At times they give half the pay and at times nothing at all. They either pay or we part ways. All efforts to reach the relevant office for an amicable solution have proven fruitless,” he added.“Since the league resumed, I have been on the same case but it has been given deaf ears. If push comes to shove then I’d rather go back home and just make it clear to them I’m jobless instead of staying in Kenya and giving them false hopes,” he continued.As Okello and other players threaten to leave, Gor are already planning for next season and have acquired Malian goalkeeper Adama Keita. They are also eyeing more players from local sides and across the border.
