Kirigiti stadium - they should build like this every county

Kirigit - Kinoru also - looks good - rest needs a little touch here and there. Small 10-15k capacity stadiums with football, rugby, althetic and tracks.

Too big for county level and small town games. The money spent here could have built 4 or 5 stadiums that can generate more revenue. Anyone building county level stadiums need to tour American high school stadiums or Google them that's what we need 15,000 to 20,000 seats. Plus set up teams to run this stadium so they can generate revenue and spur growth. Else it becomes a money pit

Why are people hung up on stupid stadiums instead of more important things like food, water, electricity and jobs?

Yes something good enough - not audacious. I am not sure of economics of hosting events - once a year - if it can pay for it. Say would hosting County Sport event - really pay for all that?  Such stadium also require football team domiciled there - playing every other weekend - and pulling at least 2,000 people.

Sports are also important - US high school spend a million dollars to build such. One per county enough to hold county events is not so bad. Also in place like Kenya where there are no parks - they should be open for public to go swim, run, and do other sporting activities. They also become good places to hold concerts, graduation ceremonies, and church rallies.  Of course political rallies, national celebrations, and the whoel Shebang.

As long as they are 10-15k capacity - I dont see it as problem.

We have big problem in kenya because most youths resort to miraa and alcohol - without sporting activities to keep their energies occupied.

Counties should aim to run a football/volley/netball league - to keep people engaged after work - so Kiambu can have their own mini-league - funded by county - where every ward has football team - 25 wards  - playing every week against each other. So monday to friday - kids are practising. CDF should fund mini leagues in their sub counties.

The money should come from all the sporting betting companies.....they should fund sport activities. That will keep many young idle folks engaged
