Construction of ultra-modern Othaya stadium has resumed in earnest and is now expected to be completed in the next few months.
Its construction had stopped following a decision to change the original design over limited space in the area.
Once it is completed, budding sports talents in Othaya Constituency will benefit from a state-of-the-art facility whose construction was commissioned by Deputy President Prof Kithure Kindiki in June last year.
The stadium is one of the projects that President Dr William Ruto promised to deliver to the residents following a request by area MP Wambugu Wainaina.
The facility is being constructed at a cost of KSh55 million and is now expected to be completed in August.
It will feature a standard football pitch with natural grass and four multi-purpose courts which will be utilised for volleyball, basketball, tennis and handball.
It will also have an athletics track, an indoor multi-purpose hall for hosting meetings, fine arts theatre performances and indoor games.
The area, MP said the facility will act as a platform for building the talent scouting network where talented local players will be identified for nurturing.
The stadium is one of the many projects that the area MP has been lobbying for since he was elected during the 2022 General Elections.
Others are in roads, water, electricity as well health sectors, all amounting to hundreds of millions of shillings.
