PS Omollo confirms Ithookwe Stadium 92% ready for Mashujaa Day celebrations

The Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo, on Tuesday led the National Steering Committee in inspecting the preparations for the upcoming Mashujaa Day celebrations, set to take place on October 20, 2025, at Ithookwe Stadium in Kitui County.

This year’s celebrations, to be held under the theme “Energy”, will honor Kenya’s heroes and heroines while highlighting the government’s transformative achievements in the energy sector.

During the visit, Dr. Omollo inspected Ithookwe Stadium, the main venue, to assess infrastructural readiness, logistical planning, and security arrangements.

He confirmed that over 92 percent of the work had been completed, with the remaining tasks—including roofing, seating, and access points—expected to be finalized in the coming days.

In addition to the stadium, the PS also toured the Kitui Airstrip, the refurbished County Commissioners Residence, and major access roads being upgraded by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA).

These works will facilitate smooth movement for dignitaries, security personnel, and members of the public attending the national event.

Dr. Omollo emphasized the government’s commitment to delivering seamless, secure, and inclusive celebrations, noting that the infrastructural investments being made will leave a lasting impact on Kitui County.
