    "content": "There are reasons for the delay in completion of Ruring’u Stadium, considering the period of time it has taken. I admit to this House that when we were elected into office, we stopped any further work in this space and took time to develop the first master plan in the history of this country. The Kenya Kwanza Administration developed the first ever master plan for sports and creative infrastructure for this country. We did that to correct the challenges that brought us where we are. There are challenges of Ruring’u, Wote, Kamariny and many other projects which were started, but never saw light of day in terms of completion. As I have admitted, there are challenges of resources and not matching commitment with resources. So, we have a project going on and then we run into headwinds of having resources to complete the project. There are also challenges with tendering where a contractor is entrusted with a project which he does not have capacity to undertake. Obviously, you engage him and then you see he cannot do the project. Because of all these factors, Ruring’u Stadium has suffered the fate of delays."
