Summary
What started as a sweet promise to millions of the nation’s youth and budding sporting talents in 2013 by the Jubilee administration has turned into a source of frustration with billions of taxpayer shillings sunk into the projects, with little or no value to show for the money spent.
In total, taxpayers have spent Sh2.6 billion on the upgrading of 10 stadia.
That is over half of the Sh4.4 billion earmarked for the project despite most of the stadiums reporting less than 40 percent completion rates. Most have inexplicably stalled.
The sight of piles of stones, heaps of soil and machinery has become all too familiar to millions of residents and visitors across nine counties earmarked for upgrade of several stadia.
