Newly elected Nairobi City governor Johnson Sakaja has revealed an ambitious plan to build a sports complex in every sub county in the country’s capital.According to the Nairobi County portal, the city has a total of 17 sub-counties which means that the governor has his work cut out in establishing upto seventeen sport complexes in Nairobi.The sub-counties include Ruaraka, Embakasi South, Embakasi North, Embakasi Central, Embakasi East, Embakasi West, Starehe, Dagoretti North, Dagoretti South, Langata, Kibra, Roysambu, Kasarani, Westlands, Kamukunji, Makadara and Mathare.Let’s Make Nairobi Work. Twende Kazi! pic.twitter.com/z0n9SMD2h4— Johnson Arthur Sakaja (@SakajaJohnson) August 25, 2022 Should he follow through on his promise, Sakaja, who has previously served as club patron for AFC Leopards, will ease the ongoing headache that teams plying their trade in Nairobi have to go through.In the 2021/2022 Football Kenya Federation Premier League season, upto eleven teams based in Nairobi had to squeeze for playing surfaces as only Nyayo National Stadium, Kasarani Stadium, Kasarani Annex and Ruaraka Grounds were available for use.##NAJAVA_MECA_6596683##That number is not inclusive of other teams plying their trade in the National Super League, Division One and Division Two who also do not have proper surfaces to play on.It is also important to note that those are only playing surfaces for football without including other sports that also suffer the same fate.Sakaja made the promise in a 12 point plan he rolled out after assuming office.
