The government has carried out an assessment of the ICT infrastructure at Talanta Stadium as work continues to prepare the facility for major sporting events.
Principal Secretary for ICT and the Digital Economy, Eng. John Tanui, led the technical team during a visit to the stadium, also known as Raila Odinga International Stadium, to review the progress of ongoing technology works.
The team inspected key ICT systems and assessed what more needs to be done to support the stadium’s operations, security and internet connectivity.
The assessment also focused on technology required to improve the experience of fans attending events at the facility.
The State Department for ICT and the Digital Economy is providing technical guidance and oversight on the installation of the stadium’s ICT infrastructure.
The department’s role is to ensure the systems put in place can support the demands of hosting major international sporting competitions.
Tanui was accompanied by Washington Okoth, Secretary of the Digital Infrastructure Directorate, and ICT Authority Chief Executive Officer Jessy Maruti, alongside other senior government officials.
The visit forms part of the government’s efforts to use technology in preparing Talanta Stadium to host international sporting events and strengthen Kenya’s position as a sporting destination.
