The Nairobi City County Government has inaugurated the Dandora Sub County Stadium, which was constructed at a cost of more than KShs 276 million after a six-year delay.
The stadium, commissioned by Nairobi County Governor Sakaja Johnson, will provide quality sporting facilities to more than one million city residents.
At the official opening, Governor Sakaja confirmed that, under his Lazima iWork mantra, the County Government is developing and commissioning similar projects across all sub-counties to nurture sporting talents.
He said the county government has also developed strategies to ensure the completion of similar projects, some dating back to the first Governor of Nairobi’s reign in 2010.
“The completion of Dandora Stadium is yet another Proofpoint that under my watch, we must complete all development projects even as we break ground for new projects that will benefit Nairobi residents,” Sakaja said, adding, “I will steer clear of retrogressive politics that denies our people development projects based on who broke ground. These are Nairobi people projects, and they will hopefully play a key role in nurturing this city’s next crop of sporting giants.”
