By DAVID KWALIMWAMore by this AuthorEmbattled Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko is fighting accusations of paying more than the required amount for the construction of Dandora Stadium. Sonko is also accused of irregularly procuring the tender for the construction work of the stadium to a firm associated with an influential politician. Sonko would later state, but without substantiating, that some ''cartels'' had added Sh100 million to that cost. For instance, Dandora stadium almost stalled because of sabotage by some engineers who wanted to raise the cost by Sh100 million," said Sonko. The fate of renovation works at Nairobi City Stadium, plus other sports venues that Sonko had promised to build, also remains unclear.
