President William Ruto has confirmed that the construction of the Bomas International Convention Complex (BICC) will commence within the next two weeks, marking a major milestone in Kenya\u2019s push to become a global conferencing hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during a Cabinet meeting at State House, Nairobi, on Tuesday, Ruto emphasized that the project aligns with the government\u2019s long-term vision of transforming the Bomas of Kenya into a premier destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the first time the Cabinet has approved the establishment of an international convention centre. A similar resolution was made nearly two years ago, with a Cabinet meeting at Sagana State Lodge on August 8, 2023, endorsing the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BICC is envisioned as a modern extension of the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), featuring a state-of-the-art conference centre, a Presidential Pavilion, and at least five luxury hotels. The government hopes the facility will enhance Kenya\u2019s competitiveness in the global events industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
