Wamalwa is understood to have gifted the bus to the Collins Omondi-tutored side nearly three years after his promise.
Speaking to Nation Sport, the club's chairman Evans Kadenge noted the bus will help them honour away matches as they push to win the league title.
"The new bus has come at a good time. We now need to cater only for fuel and maintenance costs in order to honour our away matches," Kadenge divulged to Nation.
"We thank the CS for this kind gesture which has offered a long term solution to the challenges we had in travelling. Our focus will now be on winning the league and taking back Nzoia to the glory of yesteryears," he added.

The arrival of the bus came at a time the Bungoma-based outfit has struggled to meet its financial obligations.
Back in January, the side was unable to honour an away fixture against Bandari in Mombasa thereby giving up all the three points.
They sat 15th on the currently suspended 2019/20 campaign with 13 points, four above relegation-threatened Kisumu All Stars.
