At the time the project stalled, only a perimeter wall had been erected around the stadium that stands on about 4.5 hectares. Homa Bay is the historical home to Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia which traces its roots to Ndhiwa Sub-County where Gor Mahia, a paramount chief, hailed from. But there is a glimmer of hope for the league giants after workers returned on site in July last year. Homa Bay County Executive for Sports Fredrick Odero told Nation Sport that Governor Cyprian Awiti holds the stadium project dear to his heart because once complete it will host local and national sports events. Project manager Abdi Rashid and the engineer, Tobias Talai, said construction work is on schedule.
