President William Ruto has shared recent footage revealing the significant progress made on the construction of the new Bomas of Kenya facility. The images, captured between June and October 2026, showcase the advancement of the Bomas International Convention Complex, highlighting the installation of roofing, exterior finishing, and interior installations.
In the footage, Ruto emphasized the project's aim to bolster Nairobi's status as a premier destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE). The facility, designed to accommodate up to 11,000 delegates, will feature a 5,000-seat convention hall, a 3,500-seat auditorium, a 2,500-capacity ballroom, and various meeting rooms.
The development is expected to boost Kenya's capacity to host major international conferences and stimulate growth in the hospitality, tourism, and transport sectors. The project, valued at Ksh42 billion, has faced delays and underwent a timeline revision to December 31, 2026.
