Gor Mahia’s have managed to raise slightly over 4 million Kenya shillings in their fundraiser held at a Nairobi hotel on Thursday evening, falling short of their projected amount before the event.A total of Ksh 2.9M was given in cash at the fundraiser, with another Ksh 1.1M coming in form of cheques to take the total amount to Ksh 4,099,000 with the amount expected to go up with contributions from their Paybill account in the coming days.Having targetted Ksh 15M, and with only Ksh 4M realized, Gor Mahia went short of almost Ksh 11M of their projected amount at the fundraiser and will be hoping that more contributions can continue trickling in to aid in the costs for the team’s upcoming two-legged CAF Confederation Cup clash against Congolese side AS Otoho.🟢 | UPDATE CAF clears Nyayo stadium to host our Confed Cup return leg match against Otoho d’Oyo of Congo set for December 5.#Sirkal | #Betsafe | #TotalCAFCC pic.twitter.com/87nU7IGcVw— GOR MAHIA FC (@OfficialGMFC) November 16, 2021 Former Prime Minister and Club Patron Hon.
