President Ruto said other than the Talanta Stadium, the government is constructing 21 other modern sports facilities elsewhere in the country.
The Head of State rewarded 22-year-old Njoroge Kibugu, who was the only Kenyan to have made the cut in the tournament, with Sh5 million.
President William Ruto has emphasised that provision of modern sporting facilities and training venues to Kenya’s young population will build their sporting careers, thereby keeping them away from social vices like drug abuse and alcoholism.
President Ruto noted that the government has deliberately invested heavily in giving the country the best sporting infrastructure, beginning with the delivery of the ultra-modern Talanta Sports City Stadium to tap sporting talent among youth.
