Plans by the national government to host this year’s Madaraka Day celebrations in Kisumu are at an advanced stage as authorities tasked with overseeing preparations race against time to ensure everything is in place.
Although the national event is in two weeks’ time, there is a hive of activities in the lakeside city as authorities implementing infrastructural facelifts to key facilities work against the clock to complete the projects.
The facilities include a road project leading to the Sh350 million Jomo Kenyatta Sports Ground, which will host the event.
