@sstvkenya: Rigathi Gachagua has continued to criticise President William Ruto over the proposed Talanta Stadium project, insisting that the stadium’s name will not change his political prediction that Ruto will serve only one term. Gachagua argued that even if the government renamed the facility Raila Odinga Stadium instead of Talanta Stadium, it would not change his position, repeatedly declaring “ONE TERM.” His remarks add to the ongoing political debate surrounding the stadium project, its reported cost of KSh 145 billion, and the government’s plans for its use. Gachagua has also questioned why foreign teams would be expected to play at the facility before Kenyan teams, asking why local clubs should not be given priority. Gachagua’s remarks come after President Ruto announced that Bayern Munich and Ajax Amsterdam would play the stadium’s opening match on January 5, 2027. Gachagua questioned why the inaugural fixture would feature two foreign clubs instead of giving Kenyan teams, including Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards, or the national team, Harambee Stars, an opportunity to participate. A note on the cost: The KSh 145 billion figure refers to an estimate of the stadium’s total cost, including projected interest over 15 years, cited by Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro. The government’s construction contract was reported at approximately KSh 45.8 billion. #foryoupage #viral #trending #sstvkenya
