Rachier has revealed Gor Mahia are finalising plans for the construction of their own stadium which will help solve their financial problems long term.
Speaking at St. Sebastian Park in Muranga following Gor Mahia's 3-0 victory over Muhoroni Youth, Owalo emphasized the importance of immediate preparations for upcoming CAF competitions.

He stressed that while winning the league is commendable, the team must now set its sights on greater achievements.
"I want to congratulate the team for winning the league one more time. However, this is now routine for us, and we should strive for even greater success by winning the continental championship. We need to start preparing for CAF competitions immediately in order to have a better chance of competing."
A critical aspect of these preparations includes bolstering the team with quality signings during the transfer window.
"We're looking forward to working with the office to beef up the team so that it can be formidable enough for the continental championship, which should start immediately," Owalo added.
Earlier in the season, Owalo's donation of a bus to Gor Mahia significantly improved the team's logistics, contributing to their successful campaign.
He noted that resolving the transport issue was a key factor in the team's improved performance.
This season, Gor Mahia will represent Kenya in the CAF Champions League, aiming to deliver their best performances.
