Gor Mahia defender Joshua Onyango has completed a move to Scotland FC of Zimbabwe, bringing an end to his four-year stay with the Kenyan giants.

The centre-back, who joined Gor Mahia from Kariobangi Sharks, has penned a two-year deal with the Zimbabwean side as he takes the next step in his professional career. During his time at Gor Mahia, Onyango was part of the club’s domestic campaigns and gained valuable experience competing at the top level of Kenyan football.

His departure marks a notable change in Gor Mahia’s defensive unit as the club continues to reshape its squad.

Meanwhile, Murang’a Seal have also confirmed a player exit, announcing the departure of goalkeeper Mustapha Odour. The club did not disclose details regarding his next destination, but his exit signals further squad movement as Seal prepare for the next phase of the season.

With transfer activity picking up pace, more changes are expected across Kenyan clubs as teams strengthen and restructure ahead of upcoming competitions.

Murang’a Seal head into today’s showdown against Gor Mahia riding one of the most impressive runs in the league, having collected 18 points from their last 10 matches, the joint-highest tally alongside AFC Leopards.

The impressive stretch has seen Seal win four matches and draw six, remaining unbeaten throughout the period and underlining their growing reputation as one of the league’s toughest sides to break down.

While draws have dominated their recent run, the consistency has been remarkable, with Murang’a Seal showing resilience, defensive solidity, and a clear tactical identity. Their ability to avoid defeat has kept them competitive and firmly in the conversation among the league’s in-form teams.

This strong run will be put to the test this afternoon when they face record champions Gor Mahia in a high-profile encounter scheduled for 4:00 PM EAT. Gor Mahia, always dangerous on their day, will be keen to halt Seal’s momentum, while Murang’a Seal will look to extend their unbeaten streak and make another statement.

With form firmly on their side, confidence in the camp is high — but today’s fixture represents one of their toughest challenges yet.

For the better part of last week, Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier has been trending after he opened up on being a freemason in an interview with NTV that aired on Sunday.

In the explosive interview with NTV’s Dancun Khaemba, Rachier revealed that it was Dr Joseph Aluoch who introduced him to freemasonry in 1994.

Joseph, who is the Patron, Kenya Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases and an established author, is the husband of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Judge Joyce Aluoch.

According to the 73 year-old Gor Mahia chairman, the late Queen Elizabeth 2 was their leader.

Road to Masonry

According to Rachier, you must be invited by someone who knows you for you to join freemason.

Born and raised in the Anglican Church where his father Rev. Canon Hezron Rachier served, Rachier says being a Mason does not mean you don’t go to church.

While Freemasonry is not itself a religion, all its members believe in a Supreme Being, or “Grand Architect of the Universe.”

Members come from many faiths except the Catholic Church which has condemned it.

Rachier says that some of the most iconic buildings in Kenya including All Saints Cathedral and the State House, were built by Masons.

Who is Ambrose Rachier?

Ambrose Rachier, 73, is a renown lawyer running a law firm called Rachier & Amollo Advocates where he is a partner.

Other partners at the law firm are Otiende Amollo, Jotham Arwa, Francis Olalo and Stephen Ligunya.

Rachier was born on a train in Molo as his mother was travelling home, which is why his middle name is Molo.

Ambrose Rachier grew in a strict disciplinarian family as his father was a priest and his mother a teacher. The family of 11 siblings had a lively childhood, a thing that lacks in present generations.

Ambrose Rachier Education

Rachier joined Alliance High School for A’ Levels and helped the football team to win the Central Province Cup in 1969.

He completed his Form Six at Alliance High School where he had taken three principle subjects: Literature in English, French and History.

The government of France, as part of their assistance to Kenya, sent him to Madagascar alongside James Orengo to study French.

He first set foot into a university in 1970 when he joined the University of Madagascar, Antananarivo.

He holds a Bachelor of Laws Degree (LL.B) (Hons) acquired from the University of Dar-es-salaam, a Masters Degree in Law (LL.M) from the University of Nairobi, M.A (Translation) from the University of Nairobi and a Diploma in French from the University of Madagascar.

Ambrose Rachier Career

He is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya of over 30 years standing.

He is also the chairman of Gor Mahia football club.

After Gor Mahia was formed in 1968 he could not afford the gate charges, but could not afford to miss a match. A regular ticket cost 50 cents and the VIP ones Sh2.

His career stopped him from following football for some time but he bounced back in 2008.

It all started when a group of Gor Mahia supporters came chanting songs outside his Reinsurance Plaza office.

When he went downstairs to find out what was happening, he realised they were chanting his name.

Vilified and adored in equal measure, Rachier’s  tenure saw the club end their 18-year wait for a Kenyan Premier league title claiming the coveted gong in 2013 and have since gone on to monopolise the competition, winning it six times under his watch besides bagging two KPL Top Eight titles, a further four KPL Super Cups and two domestic cups.

Since then K’Ogalo have made appearances at the continental football every year bar in 2017, reaching the quarterfinals of the Caf Confederations Cup this term.

Soccer Star Dennis Oliech has dismissed his Gor Mahia contract termination letter insisting that he is still a Gor Mahia player.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with the Nation Sports, Oliech revealed that the main reason for not attending training is because of an injury he has been nursing on his fractured hand suffered at the end of last season.

Gor Mahia while terminating his contract stated that he had committed a gross misconduct, among them being not attending training and that the team was not aware of his whereabouts.

“These stories you have been hearing are all lies and the truth of the matter is that I have never recovered from the injury on my hand that fractured, the bandage was just removed two weeks ago.The team manager has only called me twice contrary to what is being said and even if I didn’t pick he could have texted me. I trained with Gor Mahia twice after they returned from Burundi and after advice from the doctor I had to stay away, the team manager knows that,” said Oliech as quoted by the Nation.

He insisted that he is still a Gor Mahia player and blamed the club for not being patient with him as he recovers from his injury.

He further alluded the termination of his contract to reports that he intends to vie for the vacant Kibra parliamentary seat in the looming by elections and revealed that the issue is being used to victimise him for being at the fore front in agitating for players’ rights concerning the salaries and other issues of mismanagement at the club.
