The Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo, Friday inspected the Ithookwe Stadium in Kitui County as part of the ongoing preparations for the upcoming Mashujaa Day celebrations scheduled for October 20, 2025.

During the inspection, Dr. Omollo reviewed the progress of works at the venue, focusing on logistical, security, and infrastructural arrangements to ensure the stadium is fully prepared to host the national event.
