[PHOTOS] PS Omollo checks readiness for Bungoma's Madaraka Day celebrations

Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has inspected construction at Masinde Muliro Stadium in Bungoma, which will host this year’s Madaraka Day celebrations.

Work on the stadium in Kanduyi has been intensified to ensure it is ready for the June 1 celebrations.

The National Celebrations Committee indicated that requisite plans are in place to ensure the stadium is ready for this year’s Madaraka Day celebration.

Madaraka Day is marked annually on June 1 to commemorate the day Kenya achieved internal self-governance from British rule.

Counties have been hosting two of the three annual national holidays on a rotational basis aimed at boosting national cohesion and integration.

Previously, Nairobi hosted all national holiday celebrations, and currently retains one, Jamhuri Day on December 12.

It will be the 61st Madaraka Day celebrations.
