Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa promises Bukhungu Stadium’s full completion by August or September 2026, rekindling excitement for local football amid AFCON 2027 buzz.
Closed since January 2024 for Phase Two upgrades—awarded to Wilkori Contractors—the venue now surges forward with national backing after payment snags and Ruto’s push.
Phases cover VIP stands, terraces, gym, changing rooms, dispensary, plus upcoming floodlights, pitch, and roads.
Barasa credits a county-national pact to clear Ksh 700M bills from the Ksh 6B project, insisting it’ll shine for events despite not hosting matches. Recent inspections with CS Mvurya confirm on-track momentum for this Western Kenya gem.
