Sports Kenya officials could be subjected to anti-graft investigations over irregularities in the construction of several stadiums across the country.
A new report by the National Assembly Sports committee has revealed the mess that has riddled the projects.
The probe will be in respect of works at the Karatu, Marsabit, Ruring’u, Kamariny and Kinoru stadiums.
The affected projects were among President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto’s 2013 pre-election pledges.
During the unveiling of the Jubilee manifesto in 2017, DP Ruto assured Kenyans that the sports facilities would be completed.
“In six months, Wote Stadium will be complete…in another three months, the stadium in Kamariny, which is historic, will be completed,” he said.
However, the findings tabled in the National Assembly by the Sports committee, led by Mavoko MP Patrick Makau, paint a different picture.
At the centre of the controversy is whether due diligence was undertaken in the process of awarding and executing the contracts by Sports Kenya.
MPs believe funds for the projects have been mismanaged.
They thus invited the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to probe the award and execution of the contracts.
