Construction of Taita Taveta County's Dawson Mwanyumba stadium to a modern Fifa international standards will commence soon.
This is after Governor Granton Samboja held a successful deliberation with the Deputy President William Ruto together with the Sports Principal Secretary Kirimi Kaberia.
Samboja said the Sh100 million from the National government would kick start the works as his government continues to seek more funds from other partners.
"We want to support our talents that is why we are moving with speed to construct the stadium," said the governor on Friday.
"The PS has left the country to attend the commonwealth games in Australia but immediately he jets back, he will come here with officials from his ministry to finalise the plans as we start the construction works."
On April 2, the governor congratulated Taita Taveta All Stars for registering a healthy win by thrashing Nyota FC 5-1 during the 1st FKF division 2 northern zone league match at Mbaraki Sports Club, Mombasa.
"Keep it up Khalid Deco for emerging the top scorer, Lotan Mwaghodi for scoring the team's first goal in the 5th minute, Boaz Mwagodi and Halik Aziz we are also proud that you gloriously carried our county's flag high," he said.
