Governor Kidero to lead fund raiser

The much awaited Gor Mahia fund raiser which has been postponed a number of times will finally be held on Thursday November 6. There had been some doubts about whether Mr. Kidero would be able to conduct the fund raiser given the new directive barring governors from conducting Harambees.

According the report posted on goal.com, The event dubbed ‘a Thanksgiving fundraiser’ will take place on November 6, 2014, (Thursday) and will be hosted at Nairobi Railway Club starting 5.00pm.

Deputy secretary general Naima Aketch has sent out an appeal to the club’s loyal fans to attend the event.  “We shall have a thanksgiving fundraiser for club on Thursday and our chief guest will be Nairobi County Governor Honorable Evans Kidero and all our club loving fans are invited.” said Naima who is popularly known as “Ferrari”.

The club has been in financial dire straits ever since Tuzo withdrew sponsorship in March. “We have had our financial challenges through the season but that has not hindered the teams’ delivery on the pitch. We therefore, want to do this and make it even bigger so as to sort out their needs and also help propel us into the new season 2015” continued Ferrari on the club’s site.

Gor Mahia will need funding for off season acquisitions given that a number of key players are set to leave including Dan sserunkuma whose agent is in negotiations with Kaizer Chiefs.
