The Elgeyo Marakwet County Government has flagged off the construction of a Sh55 million sports academy at St.
Patrick's Boys High School which is set to benefit youth across the region.
The project, expected to be completed in one and a half years, is seen as a major step in positioning Elgeyo Marakwet as a hub for sports development in the county.
Speaking during the contractor handover ceremony, Governor Wisley Rotich emphasised the importance of sports in nurturing talent and boosting the county's sporting image.
