The list of guests was vast and included President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto, club patron Raila Odinga … none of whom graced the event.
The fundraiser was meant to support Gor Mahia’s trip to Algeria for their CAF Champions League first round, first leg fixture against USM Alger.
According to Ronald Ngala, a long serving official of the club, they need close to Kshs5 million to facilitate the trip.
Gor Mahia had reached out to the government through the line ministry for support, but their efforts did not materialize.
