Officials who had accompanied Sports CS Salim Mvurya inspect an incomplete dais at Ruring'u Stadium in Nyeri Town during a site visit on March 27, 2025.
However, Mvurya assured locals that the money already spent is not wasted. “We will not demolish what is there, but rather improve upon it,” he clarified.
The inclusion of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in the project has brought some reassurance that work will finally progress with speed and quality.
As President William Ruto prepares to visit the Mt Kenya region tomorrow, attention once again turns to Ruring’u Stadium—a long-promised dream that remains unfinished after seven years of political back-and-forth.
Launched with great optimism by former President Uhuru Kenyatta in June 2017, the stadium was expected to be completed within six months.
