A section of politicians from Gusii contributed almost a million in just under ten minutes after Shaban FC's victory against Mwatate FC.
The Sundar afternoon Third Tier clash saw Shabana promoted to National Super League after 7-6 victory on penalties. The game had ended one all during the regular time.
Senator Millicent Omanga, MPs Simba Arati, Sylvanus Osoro and seasoned politician Nyandoro Kambi along with Kisii County Youth minister Duke Mainga made the quick collection to the club.
Kisii County Deputy Governor Joash Maangi had earlier issued Sh263,000 on behalf of the county government before the politicians contributed.
Thousands of fans from both Nyamira and Kisii Counties thronged in Kasarani stadium to cheer the former KPL heavyweights with a number of politicians sponsoring their trip.
Shabana FC was among top-flight clubs that dominated soccer in Nyanza and Western region and is credited with nurturing talents such as Mike Okoth.
On Friday, millionaire businessman Don Bosco Gichana vowed to sponsor the club during his homecoming ceremony.
