What you need to know:

  • During his brief tenure, the smooth-talking businessman has already raffled a few feathers within the club leadership
  • Ochola describes his campaign as a football revolution which, should he become the next FKF president, will restore some semblance of respectability to the Kenyan game with a devolved and monetised framework at its core


Die-hard Gor Mahia fans would easily take offence if someone was to brand their beloved K’Ogalo as a once noisy club that used to be run by cartels. But that is precisely how one Sam Ochola perceives the record league champions in Kenya.

Not quite the remarks you would expect from the club's own secretary general. That's Ochola for you. During his brief tenure, the smooth-talking businessman has already raffled a few feathers within the club leadership.
