This was in response to a concern raised by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna who questioned why the pavilion at Uhuru Park was demolished. “I want to know the rationale for the demolition of the pavilion where we used to address our supporters from because I believe that was also a monument that needed to be preserved,” Sifuna asked.
Duale mentioned that the project’s total cost amounted to KES 1.18 billion. He also stated that they would finalize a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Nairobi City administration during the handover process.
According to Duale, the MOU will involve a technical team from the Kenya Defence Forces overseeing the operations for the next six months. While the renovation of Uhuru Park is fully completed, Duale noted that approximately eight percent of the work remains at Central Park.
This includes tasks like installing the drainage system and drilling a borehole, which have faced delays due to ongoing works by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA).
