City Hall is considering handing over stalled Dandora Stadium to the national government for its completion.
This follows delays by the stadium’s contractor to return on site to complete the construction of the Sh350 million facility.
Nairobi County Education and Sports Executive Janet Ouko said they are mulling engaging the State Department for Public Works, in a government-to-government agreement, to take over the remaining bit of work at the stadium.
This as efforts to have the contractor, M/S Scanjet Construction Limited, back on site to finalise the remaining construction works has proven futile.
In February, President Uhuru Kenyatta directed City Hall to ensure the stadium is completed to benefit 32 teams that depend on the ground.
“At the end of the day, the community needs the field. A total of 32 teams have no field to play because of the stalling of the project. Because of Covid-19, they have been locked out of schools they used to use their fields as their playgrounds,” she said.
Last month, the county government signaled all was not well by saying they were looking for new contractors to build the three other stadia in the capital following the Dandora Stadium construction fiasco.
