Nairobi — The swimming pool area at the Nyayo National Stadium is set to be completed in the coming weeks, while the basketball court has also been earmarked for rehabilitation, Sports Kenya Director General Pius Metto has said.

"The swimming pool and basketball areas will take slightly more time than the main complex.

The tender of the main complex was different from that of the basketball court and we are working to start refurbishment on a different contract," Metto told Capital Sport.

However, for the swimming pool area, work looks on course and the facility might be opened as early as next month.

"We have completed the warm-up and baby pool areas and the renovation for the main pool is almost completed and they are doing the final touches.
