In detail:
The Uwanja wa Mbuzi Stadium was intended to be a landmark facility, promoting youth sports and talent development. However, its current state tells a different story. Despite an initial contract of KES 66 million, the final cost ballooned to KES 75 million. Three years post-completion, the facility’s synthetic grass has deteriorated, and users report irregularities in payment receipts, with hiring costs varying between KES 3,000 and KES 10,000—raising concerns about financial accountability.
Moreover, the surrounding area remains neglected, with a dumpsite just outside the main entrance, undermining the “modern” image of this facility. Citizens demand an investigation into the possible overpricing and the absence of maintenance funds.
