The former CS expressed disappointment that a project he initiated in good faith and left in sound condition was mishandled after his departure. During his tenure, he conceptualized the stadium project and officially launched construction with a groundbreaking ceremony in March 2024, shortly before leaving office. Taking to his Facebook page, the former Budalangi Member of Parliament urged immediate accountability for any mismanagement of public funds while expressing relief at avoiding personal involvement in the controversy. Whoever is responsible for any loss of public funds must be held fully responsible. Despite the controversy, the Talanta Sport City stadium project is in its final stages, with interior works currently underway.
