CS Amina Lectures Contractor Over Stalled Stadium: “You’re Embarrassing The Govt”
Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed on Tuesday read the riot act to a contractor over the stalled construction of Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret.
The facility has been under construction since 2017 and was supposed to be ready by December last year. By Tuesday, however, the contractor Shiv Construction Company was starting to construct the second floor of the pavilion and VIP terraces.
This left CS Amina shocked when she toured the site accompanied by a team from the President’s Delivery Unit.
She wondered why the Sh304 million stadium was delayed despite the ministry pumping Sh100 million.
