The government has approved the construction of the Bomas International Convention Complex, with work set to begin in two weeks, in a project aimed at transforming the facility into a global conference and cultural hub.
The approval comes days after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua alleged that the facility had been sold despite his objections during a Cabinet meeting when he served as deputy president.
The government has since dismissed the claims, stating that the initiative is part of a broader modernisation plan to enhance Kenya's capacity to host international events.
The complex is expected to redefine Bomas of Kenya's role in the tourism and events sector, with officials projecting that the upgrade will position the country as a competitive player in global conferencing.
