The government will spend Sh300 million to prepare the new venue to host the Madaraka Day celebrations

The renovation of Moi Stadium in Embu County for the upcoming Madaraka Day celebrations is expected to cost around Sh300 million.

The stadium will be able to host 20,000 guests and is being overseen by a contractor who is employing close to 300 people at various stages of construction. 95% of the workers are locals from Embu County.

During a physical tour of Embu County with the National Celebrations Committee, which he chairs, Interior Principal Secretary Dr Raymond Omollo clarified that the celebrations will no longer be held at Njukiri Grounds due to cost and time constraints.

The grounds are however currently serving as a workshop for precast slabs for benches among other infrastructure needed in readiness of Moi Stadium.

President William Ruto will launch the groundbreaking of the project during his visit as Kenya commemorates its 60th Madaraka Day Celebrations.

According to PS Omollo, the government also announced the change of the event’s theme from Universal Health Coverage to celebrating SMEs.

“We have changed the theme for this year’s celebrations from Universal Health Coverage to focus on the SMEs so that we can improve on the economy, which is one of the biggest challenges. So, for the people of Embu, this is another opportunity to look at how we can be able to spur the economy of this county, not just in Embu town,” he said.

The PS who also serves as the Chair of the National Celebrations Committee was accompanied by his fellow Principal Secretaries Jonathan Mueke (Sports), Patrick Mariru (Defence), Eng. Joseph Mbugua (Roads) among other senior government officials.
