According to the club, the Executive Committee will comprise nine members responsible for the strategic growth of the club, governance, and oversight to ensure its long-term sustainability.
However, the club did not specify the particular positions that will make up the committee.
Speaking to Mozzart Sport, the club’s team manager, Rashid Ochieng, has now shed more light on the announcement, revealing that among the key positions the club intends to fill are those of chairperson and treasurer.
At the same time, the long-serving club administrator explained the reasons that forced the club to disband the current executive body and seek a new one.
The team manager noted that the current board has remained largely silent and has not been supportive of the club’s operations, prompting the decision to advertise for new members.
“We are looking at filling the board positions. We had some board members, but they are not helping the team, so the CEO saw it fit to invite others who may be willing to come on board and help the team, chairperson, treasurer and other board members,” Ochieng told Mozzart Sport.
Otenga, as the club is commonly known in the Lake Region, is one of the four National Super League (NSL) clubs currently enjoying financial support from leading gaming firm Mozzart Bet Kenya.
Ochieng said that since the sponsorship came on board, former executive members took a back seat, a situation that has jeopardised some of the club’s key development plans, including the acquisition of a team bus.
Kisumu All Stars, who are in their sixth season in the second tier since relegation from the top flight, have been using hired school buses to attend matches, a situation that has drawn criticism from both fans and opponents.
“We have had board members, but we always feel that some are only interested in the Mozzart sponsorship. There is nothing they are adding to the team; they just went silent.
We were even planning to get a bus, maybe through a loan that we would repay gradually, but immediately Mozzart came on board, everything vanished, and it has never been discussed again. They are just watching the CEO struggle,” he added.
Ochieng said the club is now looking for individuals who have the club at heart and are willing to help ease the burden on CEO Nicholas Ochieng.
“What we want are people who will put the team first, people who can help look for other resources, mobilise fans and attract corporates so that we can get more sponsors to complement Mozzart.
That way, we can even pay players better and ease the pressure we have. That can only happen when the board sits together and works. Even without a sponsor, a board should sit and discuss ways of raising funds for the club,” he said.
He added that interested individuals do not necessarily have to be from Kisumu or the Nyanza region, as long as they have a passion for sports.
