Ahmednasir: Kalonzo and Sifuna Should Court Gachagua, Not Uhuru

Sifuna questions Sh45.8bn Talanta Stadium cost

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has questioned the escalating cost of the Talanta Stadium, now named the Raila Odinga Stadium, alleging that the project is being used to siphon public funds.

Sifuna cited the stadium's rising cost, which has moved from an initial estimate of about Sh35 billion to Sh45.8 billion. The government attributes the increase to taxes, levies and import-related charges.

He also compared the expenditure to State House spending, saying: “The KSh40 billion used to build the Raila Odinga Stadium is the same amount of money that was spent at State House on entertainment for one year.”
