let us set the record straight... there is no part of the world where a government builds a stadium to make profit... I am waiting to be proved wrong....
secondly, it's never wrong to motivate someone to do his job.... I earn my salary yet my organization pays me PERFORMANCE RELATED BONUSES... it's not rocket science...
lastly, we can keep debating if the contract was inflated or not... but show me where such projects are built without inflation in any part of the world...

NAIROBI — In the first decision of its kind for Kenya — or all of Africa for that matter — Kenya ’s Supreme Court on Friday annulled the president ’s Aug. 8 reelection victory citing irregularities and ordered a new vote within 60 days .
The reversal of President Uhuru Kenyatta ’ s 54 percent win stunned East Africa ’s economic powerhouse and a pillar of stability in the fragile region .
The majority 4 -2 ruling of the six judges on the bench came in response to a petition filed by challenger Raila Odinga , 72, who alleged widespread fraud in the election , including the hacking of the electoral commission ’s computer system.
Following the judgment , the court broke into cheers and songs with Odinga raising his fists in the air in celebration.
“ This is indeed a very historic day for the people of Kenya and by extension to the people of the continent of Africa ,” he said outside the court house . “ For the first time in the history of African democratization , a ruling has been made by a court , nullifying irregular election of a president . ”
He added that the members of the election commission overseeing the vote should be prosecuted for criminal acts .
It is the fourth time Odinga has lost an election , often alleging fraud .
Promising to issue full details of the ruling later, Chief Justice David Maraga described the results of the election as “ invalid , null and void . ”
“ Taking the totality of the entire evidence , we are satisfied that the elections were not conducted in the accordance to the dictates of the Constitution ,” he said .
Lawyer for the president Ahmednasir Abdullahi condemned it as “ a very political decision ” but said they would abide by the results .
Heavy security surrounded the courthouse ahead of the decision over fears supporters of Odinga would riot if the decision went against him .
After the announcement of the original election results, Odinga ’s supporters took to the streets and clashed with police, resulting in 24 dead .
This time , they were celebrating. In Nairobi’s sprawling Kibera slum , where six had died in the earlier clashes , residents poured out of their homes and danced holding Odinga posters .
In coastal Mombasa , people rode motorcycles through the city , cheering .
In contrast to the elation of Odinga ’s supporters, the country’s business community , which backed Kenyatta ’s pro -business image , were shocked , with trading halted on the stock exchange after shares plummeted in the wake of the decision . The currency dropped as well .
Odinga, by contrast , appealed to the country ’s less fortunate, promising greater social justice and to combat the endemic corruption in society .
Kenya’s election commission had admitted that there had been a hacking attempt on its computer system but maintained it was unsuccessful . International observers had said there were no signs of interference with the vote.
Paul Muite , the commission ’s lawyer , argued during the hearing that the integrity of the vote had been protected “ as far as was humanly possible . ”
Odinga’ s lawyer , however , had alleged that some 5 million votes were marred by discrepancies and the forms used to record results lacked key security features such as watermarks and the necessary stamps and signatures .
Kenya, while vastly more stable than war-torn neighbors Somalia and South Sudan , remains riven by tribal rivalries that come to a head in every election cycle , largely between Kenyatta ’s Kikuyu tribe and Odinga’ s fellow Luos .
After Odinga lost in 2007, the country was ungulfed by a wave of ethnic violence that killed 1 ,400 people .

How this one is good development? This idiots government building good roads where people hardly uses wowww I don't understand why Nigerians always praise government for the job they suppose to do in 1st place. Normally politicians work for people, the citizen are their employer but not in Naija lol. Lastly What's good development this roads brings to masses? It's only build for their fellow looters and corrupt people killing Naija

is it their "fellow looters" that will work in the organizations there?, is it only their "fellow looters" cars that will be driven on these roads? then I guess I proudly belong to the "fellow looters" camp.... try and be happy for once... it costs nothing
