Kenyans, we are being conned. Today, I exposed the shocking cost of Talanta Stadium.
Now here’s the most unbelievable part:
A 60,000-seat stadium in Kenya is set to cost MORE than Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. ie 97.5 billion ksh
Read that again slowly.
To put that into perspective:
🇬🇧 Emirates Stadium (England)
60,704 seats — Ksh 68B
🇨🇮 Stade Alassane Ouattara (Ivory Coast)
60,000 seats — Ksh 33.1B
🇪🇸 Estadio La Cartuja (Spain)
70,000 seats — Ksh 23.5B
🇲🇦 Hassan II Stadium (Morocco)
115,000 seats — Ksh 64.5B
🇲🇦 Ibn Battouta Stadium (Morocco)
60,000 seats — Ksh 13.9B
🇨🇩 Stade des Martyrs (DRC)
80,000 seats — Ksh 5.9B
So why is Kenya paying almost 100 BILLION for a stadium smaller than some of these?
For the price of ONE Talanta Stadium, other countries are building 2 or even 3 world-class stadiums.
And we are expected to clap instead of asking questions.
This country is being looted in broad daylight. It might look good, beautiful, but we also need to point out the robbery and stop the robbers.
