CCTV cameras are set to be installed at Nyayo Stadium as part of a wider effort to improve security, in line with recommendations from the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya confirmed the move on Wednesday, June 11, amid the ongoing national conversation about the role of surveillance in ensuring public safety and accountability.
According to the CS, the installation is part of the final phase of renovations aimed at aligning Nyayo with CAF standards, ahead of the CHAN Championship set for August. "The most important thing is that we're strengthening, we're beautifying, and we're enhancing with CCTV gadgets after it is completed," said Mvurya.
