Gor Mahia's selective support from government not fair - Karauri

The state has often rescued K'Ogalo to honour continental matches and the investor claims such support should be extended to other teams

Former SportPesa CEO Ronald Karauri has criticised the government for what he calls "selective support" for Gor Mahia.

Since the exit of SportPesa from the Kenyan market, Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards and the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) have struggled financially as they depended on the betting firm's sponsorship.

But the government, through the ministry of sports, have bailed K'Ogalo out financially in order to honour their Caf Confederation Cup and Champions League matches.
