The CS also highlighted that over 54 VIP skyboxes are already being painted and receiving final touches.
"We are working hand-in-hand with other ministries, such as Transport, Roads, and Kenya Power, to ensure every part of this stadium is ready," he added.
The inspection aimed to ensure that quality materials are used, with a dedicated team monitoring supplies and construction standards.
Mvurya also stated that the stadium will feature three training grounds and serve as a multi-purpose venue for both football and rugby.
He commended President William Ruto for supporting the Talanta project and assured the public that weekly progress reports would be shared to maintain transparency and momentum.
Talanta Stadium epitomises the government's determination to deliver world-class sports infrastructure, unlocking Kenya's youth sports potential and realising the aspirations of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
Once completed, Talanta City Stadium will stand as a world-class sports facility, contributing to Kenya's broader vision of nurturing talent and hosting top-tier local and international sporting events.
