Kwale County will host this year’s Mashujaa Day celebrations on October 20 at Kwale Stadium.
The event will focus on the theme of affordable housing, a key initiative of President William Ruto.
The government says various sectors will showcase progress made in affordable housing and other national programs.
Preparations are underway to complete the 10,000-seat stadium in time for the event.
Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo, who inspected the construction on Friday, September 13, said they anticipate a large turnout.
