John Ahenda says Fuck you supersport. Put up your wall. You are NOT winners but sore loosers!
Edward Rombo Zach people are trying to lump all ills on some of us that recently joined the board yet most of these are issues that have been raised over the past few years and the people that ought to have accounted for them have been left scotfree others continually reelected by the same people now crying fowl. How would Muthee be privy to things that have been going on for 5 years? How do you attempt to blame him on that curtain call "blame the board blame the board!" It is well known who handles money and not all of us are privy to what goes on. If a deal can be struck with Supersport and the chairman the signed it the chairman himself without bringing it the board what does that tell you? Do we then resign after we discover these things months later or do we remove the chairman? Can directors remove a chairman? Where is the blame to be apportioned if things are kept from the board? Up to today we've been unable to trace contracts of the GM the 7s coach, players etc! Even the Supersport contract could.not be found until we got a copy from Supersport. The first thing Muthee did was to commission an audit of HR structures which met resistance from the old guard with some even attempting to sabotage the process which led to the GM being suspended. Now we hear some people whining about the GM others want him reinstated! The biggest problem is within KRU and the rugby fraternity. You are all equally culpable. 17 September at 15:41 · Like
Edward Rombo AB for probably the 5th time I remind you some of the matters were kept away from the board and we didn't have knowledge of them. Nobody remained silent on things not within ones knowledge! 17 September at 19:54 · Like
Edward Rombo Sadik I stand by my sentiments. There are many dealings that were not brought to the board and I have given the example of the Supersport deal. If you left the board in 2006 you would not be in a position to know about the issues I raise that occurred in the last 12 months or so that I have been in the board. Its all well Abdi good to say you were in the panel that interviewed and appointed the GM. I and many of the new board members weren't there so we have to go by records. 19 September at 18:39 · Like
Edward Rombo If a primary document such as a contract can't be found how are we who were not there to know the terms upon which he was appointed? Whose duty is it to maintain and keep records? If I can recall the GM was asked to bring his copy of the contract and to date he has not done so. Or may be you have it? What "misunderstanding" are you referring to with regard to the bidding? Was there a misunderstanding? Of what nature? Someone has decided to suddenly put the two Nairobi legs of the circuit to "competitive bidding"! What criteria nobody knows. Why only the Nairobi legs and not coast or Nakuru etc! Why did the chairman have to go on a breakfast meeting with the chairmen of the affected clubs in the absence of the board? So what happened to the bidding after that? Shelved forever? And how did KCB put in a bid within hours of the sudden announcement? Did you convene a club meeting and quickly deliberate on the matter? Or were you aware beforehand that these two legs would be up for.bidding? Those are the simple questions I have asked. Perhaps you can answer and I will henceforth shut up. Regarding the secretary I remind you that only the members in an SGM can deal with him given that he is an elected official. Its all in the KRU constitution. Removal or reprimanding of an officer can only be done by a resolution of members and not the board. It is not a matter that can be dealt with "internally" as you put it. And when meetings of members are called its not a must that chairmen of clubs attend in case they are busy. You can always send any representative including a player! I.have attended meetings as a Mwamba rep yet have never been chairman. 19 September at 18:56 · Like
Edward Rombo And just to conclude I am not attacking your club and do.not wish to do so all Im trying to illustrate is how many crucial issues were never brought to the board for deliberations and often decided by individuals. There was this fellow who also decided unilaterally to punish Mwamba for the gross crime of taking its star players to a tournament in Uganda. He by himself decided to deduct money due to Mwamba from the Western Union sponsorship as a punishment! Without any disciplinary process. The union had to back down after threats of court action. A secretary has no powers whatsoever to charge or mete out punishment. For Quins we all know the issues they had regarding their sponsor at the Christies 7s finals. It was therefore not surprising that this bidding process was suddenly introduced to punish the clubs. Impunity by any other name is impunity. 19 September at 19:16 · Like
