Kuria made the announcement on Thursday after watching the team beat Ushuru FC.

The controversial MP also pledged a hefty amount for the team if they retain their place in the KPL.

“Thika United is our team, as a leader I am appealing to my people to support this team and we’ve got huge cash prices for the boys if they beat Ushuru on Sunday and retain their place in the KPL,” he said.
