Description
On August 2, 2010, China's Ministry of Commerce provided a $2,739,876 grant to the Kenyan Government for the refurbishment of the Moi International Sports Centre in Kasarani, a suburb of Nairobi. An Exchange of Letters for Maintenance of the Moi International Sport Center was signed during H.E. President Hu Jintao’s visit to Kenya in April 2006. Sheng-Li Engineering Construction Company Ltd. ((胜利油田胜建集团) was the contractor. The project's original timeline was for construction to last 12 months from December 24, 2009, to December 23, 2010, but Sheng-Li Engineering Construction Company Ltd. extended work until June 2012. The stadium was closed in January 2010 for renovation works. On June 2, 2012, the Moi International Sports Centre reopened.
