Has Gor Mahia FC’s bus been sold? This is the question to which most of the club faithful are seeking answers after reports emerged online that the bus had been sold in an auction.Last month, the club bus was nabbed by auctioneers with orders from the commercial court after the club failed to pay their former player Wellington Ochieng as directed by the court. The club owes the now-unattached right-back, Kes. 1.75 million.##NAJAVA_MECA_7167512##A few days later, the auctioneers put a notice in one of the dailies putting the bus up for auction. The issue went silent for weeks until yesterday, when one of the vocal club supporters alleged that the bus had eventually been sold to recover the money owed to Mr. Ochieng.The club hierarchy, however, seems unaware of the reported sale of the bus. They say that they have not been made aware of the sale yet, as is the requirement legally. The club has been using public transport to attend training and matches.”This was a court issue, and the club has to be informed if the auction has taken place, and no such communication has reached the club up to now,” Club secretary general Sam Ochola told the Nation.
