Including all the five 5-star hotels being erected. KDF reports it will be complete by April 2026. It will be the largest conference facility on African soil! The largest so far is the Cape Town convention centre at 140,000 sqm. Bomas at 323,000 sqm will be almost triple that! Around 2029 and beyond, the Kenyan Gov with the new Infrastructure Fund in place, plans to enter the mortgage industry and make it easy for Kenyans to build single-family homes all over. High-speed internet, running water, sewers, and roads/driveways will accompany those homes and will be a requirement for every Kenyanto upgrade to living standards years down the line; if not, massive affordable houses will be there as an option! Kenya in 2033 and beyond will be simply lit with all the things in the pipeline!

The construction of the Bomas International Conference Centre (BICC), a landmark project valued at Ksh31.5 billion, is progressing under the supervision of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) through the Ministry of Defence. Launched in March 2025, the project is designed to position Kenya as a premier hub for global conferencing, cultural exchange, and economic growth.

Covering more than 323,500 square metres near Lang’ata–Magadi Road, the complex will feature an 11,000-seat convention centre, a 5,000-capacity main auditorium, a secondary 350-seat hall, and a 5,200-square-metre presidential chamber complete with VIP lounges and VVIP offices. A 3,000-seat banquet hall, meeting rooms, technical support zones, and a self-sustaining clinic are also included in the plans.

The ambitious design, integrates sustainable construction technologies such as solar power, rainwater harvesting, passive cooling, and low-energy glazing. Landscaping efforts will preserve existing trees and introduce new flora, blending modern infrastructure with environmental sustainability.

Future phases will expand the development with five-star hotels, residential blocks, a shopping mall, and cultural villages, all interconnected by pedestrian pathways and open public spaces.

Defence Principal Secretary Dr. Patrick Mariru chaired a high-level progress review meeting on the project, attended by senior government officials, KDF engineers, and the Bomas of Kenya Board. The involvement of the KDF’s Construction Engineering Brigade underscores the government’s commitment to timely delivery and high-quality construction standards. Once completed, the BICC will not only enhance Kenya’s standing as a regional conferencing destination but also create jobs, boost tourism, and provide lasting socio-economic benefits

Kenya Discussion / Re: Miami Mayoral elections is a clear sign GOP is fully Kaput!
« Last post by Kadudu on December 12, 2025, 11:43:19 AM »
Forget Indiana. The Republican representatives have rejected the motion of gerrymandering. Trump is too busy fighting foreign fires he has created. The man forgot he was voted to solve US issues.

Republicans will rig the coming midterms with gerrymandering in places like Texas, Indiana etc, they are doing it openly. I personally think that old rules do not apply anymore, the Supreme Court is worse than Trump and is allowing the republicans to break the law and consolidate power around the presidency. I personally think that republicans will be in power for a long time, the white supremacy thing is very appealing to millions of whites who now thinks they are being victimized by democrats.

Happy Jamhuri Day Kenya!

Kenya should not waste money; they should just crown Ruto, and let's roll to 2032. The man is unbeatable. Only late 'baba' could have come close!


All those are Eldorado graphics - by this I mean they are as hollow as Trump's achievements he sings day and night on Truth Social. Senile Trump is now actually claiming affordability is a Dem conjob despite the dog-beating in Miami. He has doubled down on deportations and degrading Somalis.

Matusi or stadia and shiny buildings mean little - ati Galana-Kulalu. Kibaki and Uhuru did those including Mau Mau Road meandering through Central... got floored by Raila and Ruto.

Simple: if Trump has done wonders as he claims = he would not be getting so badly kicked in NYC, Miami, etc. The results are hard numbers that expose him.
Ditto for Ruto.
If he is so magical - and Kenyans are so happy - why rig the elections? Unless you disagree there was rigging? We can debate this. The observers and monitors gave their reports :- Ruto & IEBC were basically told what they held is only "free & fair" in TZ, UG. Not in a democracy.

Well, you see, the Trump you rile about here is actually better than Ruto. Trump did not threaten, attack nor disappear Mamdani, Higgins, Bernie, AOC, etc. So he lost.

Imagine Ruto heavily bribed voters, deployed goons everywhere to suppress turnout, torched at least Eugene's car, incinerated Panyako's hotel and attacked his workers, withdrew Khalwale and Natembeya's security, kidnapped Natembeya for hours on the eve of D-Day, arrested Panyako. ETC, ETC.

You have to be a split personality to celebrate Trump's defeat but praise Ruto's "wins".

Malava was the worst. But Mbeere had a lesser semblance of this nonsense.
If you remove the ukora Ruto is basically DOA in Luhya, where the loss is 70-30 in Kabuchai and  maybe 60-40 in Khwisero. In Luhya Ruto is HOPELESS.
Gema mko afadhali kidogo. But imagine having to cheat in Embu. Kikuyu proper is probably 90% gone.

Unlike you Ruto knows this. He will need KDF to scale the thuggery nationwide. He must be planning accordingly.

You are day dreaming. This is Nyeri UDA grassroot meeting yesterday. People are fighting and paying premium fees for UDA tickets from MCA to Governor for a reason. Ruto is alfa and Omega in Kenya's politics. Today's report Kenya's tourism went from 240 billion anually in 2022 to 500billion in 2025! Defeating Ruto politically is the hardest thing in the world!

Rethugs are doomed once Latinos move left. There is no other formula. As a matter of fact, Texas and Florida are now at play. Jasmine Crocket jumped on the Texas senate because internal polls show Latinos are done with Republicans by 10-15 percentage points.
O'Rourke lost by few points, and Collins narrowed it down further to single digits. I can bet you Jasmine will easily close the deal. Conservative pundits have started advising the president to stop the ICE from racial profiling for a reason, but I think the damage is already done!

If Trumps doubles down with ICE racial profiling or remigration, Rethugs might even lose Marco Rubio's senate seat next year.

Even in OHIO, pundits have not grasped what is happening, but that 12 point swing VIVEK lost is partly because Latinos are moving away

Yes. And RVHH here will be wailing very loudly. But in Kenya he claims even more rudimentary tactics mean Ruto is so popular.  :)
