Following the surprise news of Gor Mahia defender, Godfrey Walusimbi’s ‘move’ to South African side Kaizer Chiefs, the club’s chairman Ambrose Rachier has given a word on what unfolded.

Rachier told the official Gor Mahia website that Walusimbi made it to South Africa without any sort of permission or notifying the club.

“Let it be known that Walusimbi made it to South Africa to meet Kaizer Chiefs without the club’s permission or notifying the club on his travel intentions. It’s unfortunate that a player can just decide on his own to travel to engage another club without our knowledge,” said the chairman.

Gor Mahia only got a call from Chiefs chairman asking if they could negotiate on the player but the club through chairman Rachier declined the request saying that what the player and Keizer Chiefs did was wrong because a running contract is in place.

“I got an alert from someone that he was traveling and the next thing was a call from Keizer Chiefs chairman apologising for that step and requesting if we could talk on a possible move.

“I declined to discuss anything and told Chiefs chairman l will hold a meeting with my EC then we will know what step to take. What Walusimbi did was wrong… Keizer Chiefs too did something wrong because that’s player tapping which is against stipulated rules yet the player has a running contract. There are clear and accepted produres if they wanted the player,” he added.

Walusimbi played against Bandari in Mombasa on Tuesday and was reported to have made it to South Africa on Thursday.

In 2013 January, he left Bunamwaya for DR Congo side CS Don Bosco. Having spent a few months with the team, he canceled his contract in response to the poor working conditions. He returned to his former team SC Villa.

In December 2013, Walusimbi joined Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia where coached by former Uganda national team coach Bobby Williamson. On 4 September 2010 he made his National team debut in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola as a replacement for the injured Nestory Kizito. On 16 April 2011 he helped the Uganda U23 Team to a 2-1 first leg victory over Tanzania in the All Africa Games qualifier with excellent performance in which he created the first goal with some creative work on the left flank. on 4 June 2011 he scored against Guinea-Bissau in a crucial 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualification game. The goal was the first in a 2-0 win for the cranes which saw them top Group J in front of a packed Mandela National Stadium.
