MOMBASA, KENYA: After waiting for five years in vain for the national government to fulfill its pledge of constructing stadiums in all major towns, Mombasa County Government has decided to take up the matter.

The Hassan Joho led county has set aside 1.2 billion to facelift the dilapidated Mombasa Stadium, which was closed three years ago for renovations but later abandoned half way.
