AHMED KHALIF’S LEGACY HONOURED AS WAJIR STADIUM TO BEAR HIS NAME

By Ahmed Salat Ali | Political Affairs Writer, AARAN TV KE  Ahmed Khalif, the late Wajir West Member of Parliament and former Minister for Labour, is set to receive one of the highest honours in his home county after President William Ruto announced that the newly constructed Wajir Stadium will be named after him. The announcement was made during the 63rd Madaraka Day celebrations held in Wajir County, where President Ruto affirmed the government's commitment to recognising national heroes whose contributions have left a lasting impact on Kenya's development. Ahmed Khalif was appointed Minister for Labour in January 2003 by former President Mwai Kibaki.

In a move widely welcomed by leaders and residents, President Ruto said naming the stadium after Khalif would serve as a lasting tri...
