Six years later, only a fence and a foundation stone for the construction of the main pavilion is all that stands on the parcel of land measuring roughly eight hectares where the stadium ought to have been.

In the 2014-2015 financial year, the county government injected Sh63 million into the project but all the money went into fencing and drilling of a borehole at the facility, according to the county's executive for sports, Johnston Obike.

"After completing levelling of the grounds in 2016, no contractor qualified for the other work inside the stadium and hence the project was suspended until last year when we got a qualified contractor.

The second phase of the project that was approximated to take one and half years will involve construction of the main pavilion with a capacity to accommodate 2,000 VIPs, installation of an irrigation system on the pitch and laying of a running track inside the stadium.

Angelina Moturu who is the contractor told Nation Sport at the site that she started the work in January, adding that the main pavilion will be complete in July while work on the running track and the playing surface will be completed next year.
