Governor Sang has launched new legacy projects worth over Sh2 billion, many located within Kapsabet. These include a Sh400 million new market, a Sh200 million main bus park, a new wing for Kapsabet County Referral Hospital, and the ultra-modern Kipchoge Keino Stadium.

Sang, in his second term, said the projects prove his critics wrong and called on residents to trust his promises. “Work is already underway, and with the support of President William Ruto, we are transforming this county,” he said.

The Kipchoge Keino Stadium, launched with support from Defense  CS Soypan Tuya, will feature a World Athletics-certified 400m tartan track, a 10,000-seat capacity expandable to 15,000, a FIFA/CAF-compliant football pitch, LED floodlights with solar integration, VIP/VVIP lounges, hospitality boxes, and a media centre for high-quality broadcasting. Sang emphasised the stadium will enhance athletics development in the region.
