Defence Cabinet Secretary Hon. Soipan Tuya welcomed a delegation from the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy, and Sports, led by Cabinet Secretary Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, to assess the progress on key stadium infrastructure projects in Kenya.
The briefing covered updates on the construction and renovation of the Moi International Sports Centre – Kasarani, Nyayo Stadium, Talanta Sports City, and Kipchoge Keino Stadium.
