Gachagua questioned Ruto’s decision to invite European clubs for the stadium’s opening ceremony, arguing that local teams deserved the opportunity.
He said Ruto could instead have invited Kenya’s biggest football teams to play at the newly opened stadium.
According to Gachagua, featuring top Kenyan clubs would have given local football greater recognition and allowed more Kenyans to celebrate the facility.
The opposition leader also accused Ruto of disrespecting Kenyans through his choice of teams for the opening event.
Gachagua vowed that he and other opposition leaders would organise another inauguration after the 2027 General Election.
He said the planned ceremony would take place after Kenyans elect a new government, promising a different approach to the stadium’s official opening.
