 President William Ruto has expressed his dissatisfaction with the pace at which the renovation of the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega County is progressing, stressing that the facility’s facelift must be completed by mid-2026.
During a tour of the 30,000-seater stadium, President Ruto noted that the renovations, aimed at transforming the stadium into a world-class sports facility, are lagging behind schedule and must be expedited. The renovation project, which began with much anticipation, is a key part of the government’s efforts to enhance sporting infrastructure in Kenya.
“The pace at which this stadium is being renovated is unacceptable. We cannot afford delays in completing this critical project, which is of great importance to the people of Kakamega and the nation,” President Ruto said during his visit.
The President has directed the Ministries of Sports and Public Works to closely monitor the progress of the renovation and ensure that the stadium is ready for use by mid-2026, in line with the government’s commitment to improving sporting infrastructure across the country.
In the past, Bukhungu Stadium had been a center for various sporting events and community activities. Once completed, it is expected to host major local and international events, providing a boost to the region’s economy and sports development.
“I expect that the ministries will not only review the progress made so far but will also take immediate action to ensure that contractors are adhering to the agreed timelines. This project is not just about infrastructure; it is about creating opportunities for our youth and fostering national pride,” the President emphasized.
President Ruto reiterated that the government is committed to improving sports facilities nationwide and that Bukhungu Stadium will be a model for other such projects in the future.
The government will continue to monitor the project’s progress closely to ensure that it meets the set deadline, with the promise of supporting the necessary resources and interventions for its successful completion.
The renovation of Bukhungu Stadium is part of a broader effort to enhance sports infrastructure across the country, aiming to develop local talent and boost Kenya’s profile on the global sports stage.  Read More 

   
Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale has condemned an alarming incident at Bukhungu Stadium today, where Lugari Member of Parliament (MP) Nabii Nabwera allegedly slapped a Personal Assistant (PA) to Kakamega County Governor, Wycliffe Oparanya.
The shocking altercation took place during President William Ruto’s visit to inspect the stalled renovation project at the stadium, which is intended to boost sports infrastructure in the region. The President had been addressing the contractor responsible for the delays, which have sparked concern among local leaders and the public. However, tensions escalated when the MP, who had been involved in discussions surrounding the project, reportedly confronted the Governor’s PA.
Senator Khalwale, who was present at the scene, expressed his shock and disappointment at the physical altercation. In a statement released shortly after the incident, he said, “It is deeply regrettable that such an unacceptable act of violence took place today. This is not only a disrespect to the office of the Governor but also an embarrassment to the people of Kakamega. Political disagreements must never escalate to violence.”
Senator Khalwale added that while political differences are common, leaders must conduct themselves with dignity and respect for one another. He called for an immediate investigation into the incident and said that it was important for such matters to be addressed swiftly to maintain the integrity of leadership in the region.
“MP Nabii Nabwera’s actions today were both unwarranted and unnecessary. This kind of behavior has no place in our politics, and I believe that our leaders should always set an example of professionalism, especially in the presence of national leaders like President Ruto,” Khalwale stated.
Sources at the scene indicated that the altercation occurred during a tense moment as the President questioned the contractor about the slow pace of renovations at the stadium. The reasons for the confrontation between the MP and the Governor’s PA remain unclear, but the incident quickly attracted attention from those present.
Senator Khalwale urged all leaders in the region to work together to ensure that the focus remains on the critical issues at hand, such as the timely completion of the Bukhungu Stadium renovation. He also emphasized that such incidents must not derail the progress and unity of Kakamega County.
The Senator concluded by calling for unity among leaders and the public, adding, “Let us focus on what matters most—ensuring that Kakamega County gets the best out of this important project. Personal conflicts and violence should never overshadow our collective goal of development.”
As of now, there has been no official statement from MP Nabii Nabwera regarding the incident, but calls for an immediate investigation are growing. The community awaits further updates on how this matter will be handled.  Read More
