On August 24, 2021, Gor Mahia treasurer Dolfina Odhiambo released a statement detailing a financial scandal involving top officials of the club.
According to Odhiambo, secretary general Sam Ocholla, vice chairman Francis Wasuna, and co-opted executive committee member Gerphas Okumu doctored minutes to change the club's account mandate, allowing them to increase the number of signatories required for transactions to four.
The treasurer claimed that the trio successfully conducted the 'illegal transaction' with the assistance of Bank of Africa officials, which holds the club's accounts.
Odhiambo alleged that the officials' actions were a ploy to access the KSh. 6,600,000 the club was set to receive from CAF for their qualification to the CAF Confederation Cup.
She also accused Wasuna and Ocholla of being responsible for the mysterious disappearance of KSh. 7,600,000 from the club's funds, which she could not account for.
Furthermore, Odhiambo claimed that the duo collected KSh. 2,000,000 in cash as Betway Cup prize money, despite her efforts to provide the club's account to FKF.
She also raised concerns about the KSh. 2,600,000 owed to the club by FKF as grants from BetKing Premier League Sponsorship, which she had not seen in the club's account.
Odhiambo asked the FKF CEO to clarify who received the money, as it was confirmed by FKF last week.
She concluded by asking fans and club members not to demand accountability from her, as the money she was supposed to handle was not within her confines.
