A senator has hired 10 buses that will ferry Gor Mahia supporters to Machakos for the Confederation of African Football match against Tunisia's Esperance on Wednesday.
Johnson Sakaja (Nairobi) hired the buses with a message to the team that he and other Kenyans are in full support of the Kenya Premier League champions when they clash against Esperance, a team that is currently topping the Tunisian league table.
The buses will leave Jevanjee Gardens in Nairobi's Central Business District at exactly 11am for the match that will kick off at 3pm at the refurbished Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
Sakaja said he would personally travel to Machakos to the duel in support of a team he says has re-written history in Kenyan football.
Esperance have sounded a warning that they foreshadow a tight game from Gor Mahia when they clash in the CAF champions League duel.
The Tunisian side on Sunday said they are worried about the Gor squad under the tutelage of coach Dylan Kerr.
Gor, when they played against Esperance in 1987 won the CAF Champs finals to lift the title and are confident of repeating history by trouncing Esperance again.
He called on other elected leaders to offer support to individual players and teams whenever possible.
