"content": "then been integrated to the prototype designs that have been prepared by KSTVET. The project is to be re-advertised based on those prototype provisions that have been given. Under the new design, it will have a 100-bed capacity hostel for athletes training. Ruring’u International Stadium in Nyeri County has an overall completion status of 75 per cent. Initially, it was to have a 2,000-seater pavilion, which was the objective then, a FIFA standard football field, a borehole and associated water storage facilities, electrical and mechanical works, eight-lane track with field events capacity and a VIP lift. The same contractor, as the one of Kamariny Stadium in Elgeyo-Marakwet County, was also terminated. The scope has been integrated in the prototype designs developed by KSTVET. The project will be re-advertised afresh. Using the new designs, our objective is to deliver, at least, a 10,000-seater capacity stadium. The overall completion status of Wote Stadium is 65 per cent of the following scope of works: 1,500-seater pavilion, eight-lane track with field events facilities, a FIFA standard football field, a boundary wall with gates, a borehole and associated water storage facilities. The original site was changed by the county government thus causing the delay in the commencement of the work. The new site had topographical and geological challenges thus necessitating variations to stabilise the ground on the western side of the field. We have asked Sports Kenya to integrate to the prototype design developed by KSTVET, so that we can deliver the same. The overall completion status of Karatu Stadium in Kiambu County is now 90 per cent. As a matter of fact, I will be visiting the stadium on Friday. This is because our intention is to take over the stadium by 30th October 2024. The stadium is a 1,500-seater pavilion, a FIFA standard football field, a borehole and associated water storage facilities, electrical and mechanical works and six-lane track with field events facilities. Regarding the construction of the Masinde Muliro Kanduyi Stadium, it consists of construction of a 10,000-seater terraces, associated mechanical and electrical works and civil works, roofing and installation of seats. This project is so far 90 per cent complete with roof works construction ongoing and expected to be complete by December 2024. We expect to complete Phase 2 of the roofing scope on 24th October 2024. The Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega County is under construction of the southern terrace, changing of rooms and roofing. Construction of the stadium works started in March 2023 and the progress is only 20 per cent. The contract is signed and work is ongoing. Our duty is to make sure that we push for faster completion of the project. The tenth stadium is the Kirigiti Stadium in Kiambu County. I visited the stadium last week and gave firm instructions that it must be completed and handed over by the end of next month. Had we completed and finished that stadium, we would not be struggling at the moment to see where we will host the CHAN. We had a deadline of end of this year, but I am trying my best to make sure that we are done with the stadium by end of October. The Jomo Kenyatta Stadium in Kisumu County was completed and handed over to the County Government of Kisumu. Wang’uru Stadium in Kirinyaga County was also completed. What is remaining is the handing over ceremony to the county government. And not just a ceremony, but with also an agreement on how maintenance will be done by the county government with a properly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The Ministry is consulting with the county governments through the Council of Governors on the management framework upon handing over the stadia to respective counties. The third part of the question is the specific measures or strategies that have been put in place by the Ministry to accelerate the completion of stalled or incomplete stadia across the country.
