Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko bailed out a stranded Gor Mahia with Sh500,000 ahead of the team’s trip to Zambia for a continental assignment.
The team was eliminated from Confederation Cup play-offs after an aggregate 3-2 defeat to Napsa Stars. Therefore, K’Ogalo miss out on about Sh30 million in prize money.
Reportedly, Gor’s management was unable to afford air-tickets to the Zambian capital alongside accommodation fees for the traveling contingent.
Sonko, currently in custody, reportedly chipped in and sent Sh500,000 to the club officials.
A source close to the politician explained, “He reached out and sent the team some money, " the source told the local news outlet.
In the past, Sonko supported Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards, and Harambee Stars among other teams.
The politician is currently battling an array of charges including terrorism, assault, robbery with violence and corruption.
