Neglected frontier to secure future: North Eastern’s Madaraka moment

It's all system go for Madaraka Day celebrations in Wajir | Daily Nation

Kenya's government spent Sh4 billion to host the 2026 Madaraka Day celebrations in Wajir, including building a 10,000-capacity international-standard stadium in three months as part of 30+ major infrastructure projects in the North Eastern region. The initiative signals a deliberate state-led investment push in historically marginalized areas, with parallel upgrades to airports, roads, and affordable housing across Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera counties.
