The Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) has formally taken over construction of the Olenguruone Stadium in Nakuru County, thirteen years after the project stalled.
Nakuru Deputy Governor David Kones said that after a comprehensive site inspection, the KDF would now move forward with the necessary processes to continue with construction of the facility.
He voiced the County government's support for the intervention, saying that completing the stadium would inspire hope and ignite passion among the surrounding communities especially the youth eager to engage in sports and talent development.
Construction of the stadium situated in Kuresoi South Sub-County started in 2012 after a contractor was awarded Sh73 million out of the total contract sum of Sh290,643,600 as per the contract agreement.
