The government has dismissed claims by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that Bomas of Kenya has been sold to a Turkish national, saying the facility is undergoing modernisation to become a global conference and cultural hub. Gachagua alleged that the sale happened despite his objections during a Cabinet meeting when he served as deputy president. "The Turkish national is a close friend to someone powerful in this country.
Ruto has two years to do everything he wants.
The other day you saw who has joined him in government," he said. However, the Gender, Culture, Arts and Heritage ministry, under which Bomas falls,has refuted the allegations, noting the facility remains public property. Principal Secretary Ummi Bashir said Bomas has not been sold, and its ownership remains unchanged. "I am therefore shocked by the allegations made by the former Deputy President regarding the sale of Bomas of Kenya to a Turkish national.
The State Department for Culture, the Arts and Heritage categorically refutes this allegation.
