Sports Ministry should not support Gor Mahia alone in KPL – Shimanyula

Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has taken a swipe at the Kenyan government for pledging to support cash-strapped Gor Mahia.

On Tuesday, Goal exclusively reported the Kenyan champions will benefit from a Sh10 million payment from the Sports Ministry, after the club wrote seeking financial help following the withdrawal of SportPesa as their title sponsors.

Gor Mahia are set to receive the money sometime this week and will help them to pay players and technical bench members’ salaries, among other pressing issues.
