Gor Mahia football club fans are set to hold peaceful protests against club chairman Ambrose Rachier’s freemasonry activities.
The demos are slated for Thursday and will start at Uhuru park at 11 am.
In a letter to Nairobi regional police commander dated October 11, the fans through Judith Anyango have sought police protection during the procession .
“Gor Mahia FC is not part of Mr Rachier in his freemasonry adventure and we wish to strongly condemn his continued association with the club after making such an admission that cost us so much ridicule and public embarrassment,” Anyango said.
Anyango said fans will congregate at Uhuru Park at 11 am and make a procession to Valley Road before branching to Ralph Bunch road junction.
They will then drop their petition at his Mayfair House office in which they will be condemning him and calling for his resignation.
“We further request you to provide us with two outriders and five police officers during the procession,” the fans said in their letter to Nairobi region police commander Augustine Nthumbi.
On October 2, Rachier, during an interview with NTV confessed to being a member of the secret society and dismissed claims that freemason is a satanic enterprise.
“I have been there since 1994 and I would find it is something good, something that I would want to invite a friend,” he added.
On October 3, Gor Mahia distanced itself from Rachier’s involvement with Freemason.
Secretary general Sam Ochola said Rachier is on a personal journey that does not include the club and its members.
“The Executive Committee members, players, employees and the mighty Gor Mahia Football Club want to assure our fans that we are not part of the Freemasons Society,” Ochola said.
