Reconditioning of  Nyayo National Stadium in Kenya will be completed in March this year as promised by the contractor.

The government of Kenya wants to ensure that the stadium is always in good condition for use by sportsmen and women in the country.

“This works have to be completed by the end of March. The contractor has agreed to adhere to that directive,” said the sport Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed.

Furthermore, Amina disclosed that the Ministry of Public Works is assessing the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani to know the areas that need to be renovated in ahead of this year’s World Athletics Under-20 Championship in July and the World Rally Championship series.

“We have Olympics, Safari Rally and the athletics Under-20 championship, so the stadiums should be ready before these major competitions. We have to complete Nyayo and Kasarani stadiums before we can concentrate on others across the country,” she affirmed.

Apart from the renovation issues facing Nyayo and Kisumu Stadia, the government has faced a series of challenges while trying to ensure that the stadia promise they made during their campaigns in 2013 becomes a reality.

Kenya lost its chance of hosting the CHAN Africa Nations Championships after it was ruled out based on the poor state of stadia in the country.
