If it weren't for poverty in Africa, why should traveling abroad be a blessing from God?












Talent development, particularly among the youth, is central to the realization of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). To unlock this potential, the Government is deliberately investing in world-class sports infrastructure. The ongoing construction of the 60,000-seater Talanta Stadium, recently renamed Raila Odinga International Stadium in honour of the life and legacy of the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, is progressing steadily and on schedule. External works have advanced with the installation of the stadium emblem, interior canopy works are nearing completion and the playing surface is currently being precisely levelled to international standards. A defining feature of the facility is its state-of-the-art, fully computerized hydraulic tension cable roof-lifting system, an elite engineering innovation found in only four other stadiums worldwide, underscoring the project's global stature. The stadium will also house seven modern changing rooms, VIP lounges, fully equipped media centres and VAR booths integrated with goal-line technology. Once completed, it will stand as a premier continental venue and is set to host matches during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2027, positioning Kenya at the heart of elite African football while strengthening pathways for talent identification and development. #DeliveringThePlan


A Sh40 billion bond, payable in 15 years with total repayment of over Sh100 billion (incl interest) and all we shall be left with is the stadium + warm up track + a roof + changing rooms + vip lounges and media centre? Questions shall be asked. Many.
