Gor Mahia Terminates Dennis Oliech's Contract ¶
Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia have terminated the contract of striker Dennis Oliech, just months after signing him in January 2019.
The decision was made due to Oliech's poor discipline, which led to him missing training sessions without permission, and his alleged involvement in politics.
According to a statement released by the club, Oliech was found guilty of misconduct and was subsequently terminated from his contract.
"Umepatikana na makosa makubwa ya utovu wa nidhamu na kuendelea kuandikisha matokeo mabovu uwanjani na kukosa mazoezi bila ruhusa kutoka kwa kocha mkuu, meneja wa timu ama kiongozi yeyote wa klabu na kunyima klabu hii nafasi ya kukunoa kama mvamizi," the statement read.
It is also alleged that Oliech's involvement in politics may have contributed to the club's decision to terminate his contract.
"Umejitolea kama mgombeaji wa uchaguzi unaotarajiwa, hatua ambayo itatoa picha mbaya ya klabu hii kwa sababu ya ghathabu kutoka kwa miongoni mwa mashabiki na wafuasi wa klabu hii," the club stated.
It is worth noting that Oliech has been a key player for the Harambee Stars, Kenya's national football team, and has also played for several clubs in Europe.
