Yesterday’s coronation of Gor Mahia as the Kenya Premier League champions was a deserving acknowledgement of the club’s pedigree with a record 16 league titles to its name.
This is a major accomplishment for a team that had been starved of success until it won its first league title after 18 years in 2013. Gor’s success must be recognised for two main reasons. The first is that it is a non-institutional club that has to source for funding to run the club because it has no parent institution to meet its financial obligations.
