The County government of Machakos has today signed a Sh600 million Memorundum of Understanding (MoU) with Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to establish a first of its kind Football Technical Center in Machakos which is expected to significantly uplift the standards of football in Kenya.

The MoU between FKF and the county government of Machakos paves way for the construction of a Football Complex which will include accommodation facilities for national teams and trainers, Administration blocks and offices, a players' training institute, three International standard pitches and a FIFA International training center.

According to the MoU which we signed with FKF President Nick Mwendwa the county government will lease out 20 acres of land to FKF for the construction of the facility at the New Machakos City grounds near the People's Park for a period of 33 years.

We are grateful to FKF and we hope the collaboration will be useful in addressing the problem of unemployment among our youths.

I congratulate Machakos County Secondary Schools for emerging top in the just concluded Eastern Region Secondary Schools Drama and Film Festival.

As we celebrate the growth of our film industry, I applaud the organizers of this event. The hard work that has gone into its planning has paid off by putting Machakos County and the Eastern region on the country's drama and film map.

In my remarks during the awarding ceremony at Katoloni Secondary School, I pointed out that my government intends to rollout talent academy centers for performing arts and sports in all the Sub-Counties in Machakos County. This will enable us to continue nurturing these budding talents for the benefit of the individual youth, the county and the country at large.

In the awarding ceremony tonight, I was also accompanied by Her Regal Majesty: Queen Temitope Enitan -Ogunwusi. Wife of the Great Ooni of Ife Kingdom. We congratulated all the award winners in the various competitive categories. I hope this will elevate them to greater heights in their future careers and development.

This year's theme 'Fostering Digital Transformation through Film and Theatre' is a timely one in this digital era.

Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua on Friday opened the county’s first recreational grounds, named Machakos People’s Park.

The park which cost an estimated Sh20 million is home to the continent’s first field amphitheatre and is expected to generate upwards of Sh100 million for the county annually. The park will also be open for wedding parties and live performances; the first of which will take place over the Valentine’s weekend. Enjoy your valentines day.

Shock gripped the Machakos Level Five Hospital mortuary when a man who had been taken there after being presumed dead ‘resurrected’. The 45-year-old hawker’s body had been found in a trench at the Machakos bus park. Police retrieved the body and took it to the mortuary. But on arrival at the morgue, attendants found he was still breathing as they prepared his body for safe custody. His colleagues who had accompanied the police to the mortuary scampered for safety when the man woke up. Mortuary attendants rushed him to the nearby casualty ward where he was put on a drip, but he later died.
