This morning, i undertook an inspection tour of the Bomas International Convention Complex (BICC) @Bomasofkenya site to evaluate the ongoing construction and assess key project milestones.
This flagship development stands at the forefront of Kenya’s efforts to elevate its status as Africa’s premier destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE).
At the heart of the complex is a state-of-the-art, over 10,000-seat facility engineered to host high-level international summits, diplomatic forums, and large-scale trade exhibitions.
Designed to harmonize cutting-edge conferencing technology with Kenya’s vibrant cultural heritage at Bomas, the venue offers a distinct environment where global business meets local tradition.
Beyond its physical infrastructure, the project will serve as a major economic catalyst. By drawing international delegates, BICC is poised to drive hotel occupancy rates, stimulate local supply chains and transport logistics, and create substantial job opportunities for young people across the broader tourism ecosystem.
As construction progresses steadily, the complex reinforces Kenya’s standing as Africa's preferred destination for global business and international events.
Titus Njari Ndei, 41, led Kitengela landlords to build their own private sewer line after years of sanitation problems in the fast-growing town.
With the population ballooning, property owners had relied on expensive septic tanks that often overflowed and posed health risks.
Frustrated by the Kajiado County Government’s failure to provide a lasting solution, the landlords decided to take action.
The push started in 2013 when the county sued 22 plot owners for discharging raw sewage, contrary to the Public Health Act. They were released on bonds of KSh 180,000–200,000.
Two months later, the accused landlords mobilized under Engineer Ndei and registered the Kitengela EPZ Neighbouring Community Sewer Project. They secured approvals from EPZA, NEMA, and other authorities, then funded a KSh 85 million, 45-kilometre, 2-foot-wide sewer line running to the Athi River EPZ trunk sewer.
The project was funded by hundreds of landlords contributing KSh 250,000 each plus a KSh 1,000 registration fee, and paying EPZA tariff fees ranging from KSh 7,500 to KSh 74,000.
The completed sewer now serves 818 landlords and has eased the burden of paying KSh 200,000 every 2-3 weeks to the county for waste disposal. Ndei says the community initiative gives residents a chance to manage sanitation sustainably.
🚨 BREAKING: France players reportedly explain the reasons behind their loss to Ivory Coast.
Tensions inside the French camp are said to have emerged after multiple players realised mid-match they were technically being pressed by cousins, uncles, family friends, and at least one man who attended their parents’ wedding.
Kylian Mbappé addressed the defeat after the game.
“It was difficult emotionally,” he explained.
“At one point I dribbled past a defender and my mother texted me asking why I was disrespecting the family.”
Sources say the atmosphere became increasingly complicated as the match progressed.
One French player allegedly stopped a counterattack after recognising the opposition midfielder from a childhood barbecue in Marseille.
Meanwhile, Didier Deschamps rejected suggestions France underestimated Ivory Coast.
“Absolutely not,” he insisted.
“We simply struggled tactically against a team containing several players our scouts originally described as ‘future French internationals.’”
The manager also admitted communication became difficult during heated moments.
“At one point both benches were shouting in French.”
“Even the arguments had accents from Paris.”
Several France players reportedly requested DNA tests at half-time “just to make sure.”
Others are said to have become suspicious after hearing Ivory Coast players use the exact same insults their fathers use during family football matches.
One defender allegedly froze completely after being nutmegged by an opponent who then asked:
“How is your auntie?”
Mbappé later defended the team’s performance.
“People must understand this was not a normal international match,” he explained.
“This was basically a very aggressive family reunion.”
