On September 15, 2019, Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr urged the Jubilee Government to finalize completion works at the stalled Wote stadium in line with the Jubilee manifesto.
Senator Mutula expressed his disappointment at the state of sports facilities across the country, stating that it was unfortunate that the Jubilee Government had not kept its promise to build six stadiums once elected.
The Makueni County was supposed to be a beneficiary of the promise, but the Wote stadium is in a bad state and in need of rehabilitation.
During the finals of the MKJ cup at Kalawa, Senator Mutula also urged the County Government to set aside resources to develop fields across the County to enable youth to train in different sporting exercises.
“County should check on the state of our fields so that we can nurture talents. I want also to ask the Jubilee Government to finalize the stalled Wote stadium,” Mutula said.
He emphasized that the County is in a position of producing better sportsmen and women, but all this is dependent on the state of our fields and support from the Government.
Senator Mutula also proposed for the formation of Harambee stars II, which will comprise of best players from every County as a way of harnessing great sporting talents especially in football.
