Masinde Muliro stadium in Bungoma which will host the 61st Madaraka Day is a stunning masterpiece.

Pictures posted online by the Ministry of Interior depicts a view to behold as the stadium is seen in its shining glory especially at night.

The once dull and outdated sporting facility has been refurbished and transformed into breathtaking beautiful scenery.

Government spokesman Isaac Mwaura said in a statement on Friday that completion of phase 1 of the stadium cost Sh807 million.

"Phase II of the Masinde Muliro project, covering terraces, perimeter fence and access passes is nearly complete at an additional cost of Sh790 million," Mwaura said.

The stadium has spacious seating areas with comfortable seats and the vibrant green field is perfectly manicured.

Masinde Muliro stadium has been renovated and upgraded to host the Madaraka Day celebrations which will be presided over by President William Ruto.

The Matulo Airstrip in Bungoma was also rehabilitated at a cost of Sh139 million ahead of the festivities, Mwaura revealed.

The Masinde Muliro stadium is a 12,700 seater facility with the VVIP lodge section designed to handle 2,000 guests.

Interior PS Raymond Omollo has made several visits to the stadium to ensure the renovations are done in time for the celebrations.

Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba also toured the stadium and said the refurbishment will continue after the Madaraka Day festivities.
