Construction of the Sh 350million Wote Stadium had stalled three years ago due to lack of funds but resumed in June after Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS), Amb. Amina Mohammed announced that the money had been availed to complete the project.
The 10,000 seater stadium will include a pavilion, a perimeter wall, a track field and administration block. It will be constructed to international standards and according to the CS, the stadium will give the young people an opportunity to hone their talents and compete at both local and international levels.
Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana lauded the government for the initiative to have the stadium completed and expressed his optimism that the stadium will improve talent among youth in the area.
