  • Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed confronted a contractor over the incomplete Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County.

    CS Amina sought to know why the project, which initially began in 2017, and was set to begin operations by December 2020, had not been completed despite visits by government officials on numerous occasions.

    Accompanied by a team from the President’s Delivery Unit and Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago, CS Mohamed demanded that the project be handed over to a different contractor.

    “Hand over the project to another capable contractor if you are not ready to complete it. I can’t be here every time and getting the same answers on why the stadium is not being completed,†she stated.

    The contractor maintained that he was committed to the project, and went ahead to ask for the prompt release of funds.

    Responding to the remarks, CS Mohamed questioned the Ksh100 million that the government had disbursed for the project.

    “You have swallowed Ksh100 million of government money and the work you have done does not measure up with the funds. You are embarrassing the government,†Amina said.

    The CS deployed a team of officers from the Ministry to camp at the site until the stadium is completed.

    She further ordered the contractor to hire more workers in order to complete the stadium.

    Mohamed’s sentiments were backed by Governor Mandago who noted that the contractor should put in extra time to complete the task.

    “You have been paid money by the government, why can’t you work 24 hours a day to complete this project?” he questioned.

    The stadium is scheduled to be used in June, 2021, by Athletics Kenya for the Olympics Games trial.
