Narok County will host this year’s Madaraka Day celebrations after Kajiado failed to prepare the stadium in advance. A statement from State House stated that the planning committee was concerned by slow construction of the stadium in Kajiado which was meant to be the venue of the event. “The committee expressed concerns that the Kajiado stadium's construction may not be completed within the remaining three months as earlier envisaged. Consequently, the President directed that this year's Madaraka Day celebrations be held in Narok County,” the statement reads. More: Kajiado to host Madaraka Day celebrations - Uhuru
