President William Ruto has assented to the request to rename the Wajir Stadium in honour of Ahmed Khalif, Kenya's shortest serving cabinet minister - who died in a plane crash in Busia in January 2003 barely 20 days after being sworn in as Labour Minister.
The ill-fated Gulfstream jet also had Martha Karua, Raphael Tuju, Martha Koome, Linah Jebii Kilimo, George Khaniri and Dr. Wanjiru Kihoro (who died in 2006 after 3 years in a coma).
