The player, who has been at the centre of controversy since arriving in the country, has not been included in the list of players signed this season. It is now official. Gor Mahia have parted ways with Brazillian striker Giovani Rodriguez. The player who has been at the centre of controversy between the club’s technical bench and management, has been omitted in the list of players sent to the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) as the deadline for registration closed on Thursday. While Gor Mahia coach Zradvko Logarusic has maintained he wants nothing to do with the player, a section of the club officials have always wanted him to be given a chance. This week, Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier said Logarusic has been ordered to retain the Brazillian atleast for sometime as he improves on his fitness. Gor have listed six players as those that they have signed for this season. They include Abbey Natty formerly of Muhoroni Youth, Israel Emuge from Kina Young in Uganda, Innocent Mutiso (Mathare United), David Otieno (Western Stima), Zachary Onyango (Coffee Board) and Paul Kiongera (KCB). The former KCB man was the most expensive signing and cost Gor Mahia Sh400, 000 though both clubs insist he has been signed on loan. Another expensive signing is AFC Leopards midfielder Patillah Omoto who cost the club Sh400, 000.

PRESS STATEMENT FROM DPM UHURU KENYATTA

DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER UHURU KENYATTA REJECTS PROPOSED RETIREMENT PERKS FOR MPS

January 11, 2012

Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta has rejected the retirement emoluments parliament passed on wednesday night, saying his time for retire is not yet. He called for its removal, but said President Kibaki , VP Kalonzo Musyoka and Prime MInister Raila Odinga should get their benefits because their time to retire is nigh.

The DPM explained that when he served at the treasury as Finance Minister , he had had to deal with similar demands from MPs . He opposed them twice - if not more - in the conviction that the wage bill must be looked at broadly. This view has not changed. Whats more? No man or woman should be a judge in his or her own case.

The constitution has created a omission that should deal with salaries of all state officers. On opinion polls, the DPM said voters, not opinion polls, will determine the election.

“The chaos of 2007 must never be repeated and this is why jubilee is built on national unity and reconciliation. Kenyans have a right to live and work anywhere in kenya and no leader should be allowed to cause mayhem.

'Jubilee wants to make sure that the economy booms in the rural areas, not just nairobi.' The youth and women must have easy access to credit so that they can start businesses and factories without the trouble of getting collateral”, said the DPM
