ICT Cabinet Secretary and Gor Mahia fan, Eliud Owalo, hosted the team and officials to a breakfast where he gave them a pending bonus of Ksh. 725,000 and promised to help them acquire a new team bus in the near future.
Gor Mahia players on Tuesday morning received Ksh725,000 from ICT Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo at the Serena Hotel in Nairobi. The money was a settlement of winning bonuses promised by Owalo.
The players had gone without receiving their bonuses for the last 5 matches. Gor are unbeaten in their last 9 league matches, which includes a resounding 5-0 win over bottom-of-the-table Vihiga United at Kasarani Stadium 3 weeks ago.
Speaking at the event, Owalo, an ardent Gor Mahia fan revealed that he offered to hand the players their winning bonuses as motivation for the level of performances they have shown recently, sustaining their quest for a first Premier League title in 3 years.
