In an interview with Daily Nation Sports, Simataa said it was unfortunat­e that some members were using the media to air their grievances and not engaging Forli which was not helping the club.

“All the grievances being raised in the media have a solution, I am calling upon all those in doubt of the lease agreement to come through and check the records. There is nothing to hide and so Forli doors are open to anyone,” he said.

He said Forli will engage the community through an open meeting set for Tuesday, December 12 to clear all the misunderst­andings.

“Forli will engage the community next Tuesday where their questions will be answered. We are ready to offer any explanatio­n on any matter,” Simataa said.

Last Tuesday, City club members petitioned the club executive committee to relook at the lease agreement papers and confirm their validity at the January non-elective annual general meeting.

The members doubted the lease documents because of certain signatorie­s on the copies at hand.
