President William Ruto announced plans to construct a modern stadium in Nairobi’s Eastlands area to address the growing challenges of alcoholism and drug abuse among the youth. Speaking during a church service in Soweto, Embakasi East, on Sunday, November 17, 2024, the President outlined a comprehensive development project for the area, leveraging government-owned land in Jacaranda.

The initiative includes constructing a stadium alongside educational institutions and potentially affordable housing, depending on the available space. “We will build a modern stadium, and I have already contacted the PS who will oversee this project,” Ruto stated, emphasizing the need for youth engagement through sports facilities.

The proposed site is earmarked for the development of a nursery, primary, and secondary schools, as well as a TVET (Technical and Vocational Education Training) institution. “Local leaders have raised concerns about challenges in education,” Ruto noted. “As Governor Sakaja mentioned, the government land here in Jacaranda will be used to build schools. If the land allows, we will also build a TVET institution, and if possible, include affordable housing to help local residents.”

Ruto has tasked Charles Hinga, the Principal Secretary of the State Department for Housing and Urban Development, with spearheading the initiative.

In addition to the stadium and educational projects, Ruto highlighted plans to upgrade the area’s road infrastructure, which he described as a pressing concern. The President recounted difficulties his motorcade encountered due to the poor road network and assured residents of improvements by early next year.

“I’ve already contacted the Director General of the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), and we’ve agreed that by January, the roads will be completed,” Ruto said. Sewer line installations will also be prioritized as part of ongoing discussions with local leaders.

Ruto reaffirmed his government’s commitment to fostering development that addresses both social and infrastructure challenges. “Instead of engaging in drug-related activities, the youth should have a place to play,” he concluded.
