He added that all the ongoing construction works have been timed to end at least two weeks before June 1.

Speaking when he inspected the ongoing works at the stadium, Musiambo dismissed claims that the stadium will not be ready before the June 1 event.

"We have 10 contractors on site, working day and night to ensure the stadium is ready by the 22nd of this month and there is no reason for alarm," said Musiambo.

"Afraha will be ready and will host Madaraka Day and those doubting should wait and see," he added.
