KAKUSWI TO HOST 3,000-SEATER MODERN SPORTS COMPLEX

Sports lovers and athletes from Mbooni Sub-county are looking at better days ahead, with a state-of-the-art sports complex set to be constructed at Kakuswi Playground.

The 3,000-seater facility, to be developed through a partnership between the Government of Makueni County and the Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care Charitable Trust, will feature a football pitch, volleyball and basketball courts, and a minimum six-lane running track.

On Monday morning, Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. hosted a delegation from the Trust, led by Chief Executive Officer Rahul Parekh, for a review of the complex designs and the signing of a memorandum of understanding for its development and maintenance.

As part of the agreement, the Trust will provide KSh 500,000 annually for maintenance for the first three years, and KSh 300,000 thereafter. An existing borehole, which yields 60,000 litres of water per hour, will supply water to the complex and the surrounding community, with the Trust supporting the distribution infrastructure.

Governor Mutula, who was accompanied by Sports CEC Eng. Sebastian Kyoni and Sports Director Ambrose Kisoi, termed the partnership a major milestone in sports development in Makueni—one of his key development pillars.
