Construction works at Dandora Stadium have resumed following the intervention of Nairobi City County Governor Johnson Sakaja.

According to Brian Mulama, the Nairobi County Executive Committee member for talent, skills development, and care, under which sports falls, the county has already finalized talks with the contractor, and work on the site has already begun.

The new stadium, according to Mulama, is set to be finished and ready for use in less than two months’ time.

“As the Governor (Sakaja) had promised, we have agreed with the same contractor who was working on the stadium and the contractor is already on site. This stadium will be done within the next 45 days. ,” Mulama said.

Dandora

Construction of the new Dandora stadium stalled in 2019 when the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission moved to probe the alleged procurement irregularities believed to have cost the taxpayers millions of shillings.

Former Governor Mike Sonko’s administration was accused of making Sh196.9 million irregular payments to the contractor and irregular change of the contract name but in 2021, the Senate Labour and Social Welfare committee which was then chaired by Sakaja (then Nairobi Senator) ordered the resumption of work at the stadium.

The Senate resolved to give the county government a go-ahead to complete this stadium, which is 65 percent done.

“The state-of-the-art sports facility will give the youth a chance to nurture their talent and develop sports. The new Dandora Stadium will have notable features like; artificial turf, seats, a gym center, modern stalls, and floodlights,” Dandora Youth Secretary Godfrey Okoti said.
