Gor Mahia have been handed a close to Ksh2 million bill by Sports Kenya following chaos witnessed at Kasarani Stadium last weekend when a section of fans caused great damage at the facility.
Sports Kenya, the body responsible for managing stadia in the country, has billed K’Ogalo Ksh1,995,000 for the damage which saw seats, electrical panes as well as wooden panels destroyed during the club’s FKF Premier League clash against Murang’a Seal last Saturday.
Gor, who have been using Kasarani Stadium as their home ground, will also not be allowed in any Sports Kenya-managed facility until they pay for the damage.
Ugly scenes were witnessed when a section of fans caused mayhem inside the match venue, leading to running battles with the security personnel.
Chaos initially started when an angry Gor Mahia fan stormed onto the pitch to attack the referee, claiming that the standards of officiating had been poor during the game.
Benson Omala had scored a goal that was flagged offside, but it looked controversial considering the Murang’a Seal goalkeeper parried the ball back straight at the striker, who then found the back of the net before being flagged offside.
