Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier threw down a massive financial incentive to drive his side over the line in the final stretch of the SportPesa League title race.

During a productive meeting with the squad, Rachier pledged a KSh.5 million bonus should K’Ogalo seal this year’s championship. The sum, chairman confirmed, will be split between the playing unit and the technical bench.

In an additional move to lift spirits, Rachier also announced the doubling of the winning allowance to KSh10,000 for each player per victory.

The payments have already been honoured in the club’s last six fixtures, with players receiving the cash after each win. The promises were warmly received by the squad.

The timing of the announcement could hardly be more critical. Gor Mahia currently sit atop the standings with 68 points, four clear of arch-rivals AFC Leopards. With the finish line in sight, every point and every win carries immense weight.

Rachier’s bold gesture is widely seen as a bid to steady the ship and keep the players laser-focused on the ultimate prize.

If the league leaders can maintain their nerve and form, the financial rewards may prove a timely catalyst for yet another championship celebration.
