The premise also confirmed that off-site services, including traditional dance performances, will still be available.

This comes weeks after President William Ruto, on March 11, revealed that the construction of the Bomas International Convention Complex at Bomas of Kenya is set to begin, as public scrutiny on the national heritage site mounts.

In the Cabinet Dispatch, Ruto stated that the project aimed to upgrade the building to a world-class standard.

“The President announced that construction of the Bomas International Convention Complex will begin in two weeks, marking a major milestone in the government’s plan to transform the facility into a world-class conferencing hub.”

“The project aims to redefine the look, feel, and purpose of Bomas, positioning it as a premier destination for global events,” part of the dispatch stated.

On March 9, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua claimed that Bomas of Kenya was being sold to a Turkish national, a claim the government denied. Gachagua sensationally alleged that the sale of the historic Bomas had been approved by the Cabinet.

On March 10, Principal Secretary of the State Department for Culture and Arts, Ummi Bashir, refuted the claims, stating that the famous national heritage site had not been sold to anyone.

"By dint of Executive Order of Government No. 2 of 2023, Bomas of Kenya was placed under the State Department for Culture, the Arts and Heritage," Bashir said in her statement.
