An additional Sh600 million will be used to refurbish a Kenyatta University hostel in readiness for next year's IAAF World Under 18 Championships. Wario added that the government was ready to fund the KU village since IAAF promised to turn it into a high performance training centre (HPTC). “I shall seek help from the Education ministry to boost renovations at Kenyatta University to make it a world class athletes training centre,” he said. “All the rooms at Kenyatta University will be renovated with the facility benefiting from the competition and warm up tracks that will be laid at Kasarani,” said Muthe. Local and IAAF engineers led by Cristian Burril from Italian track manufacturer Mondo have visited Kasarani, where a blue tartan will be laid, and KU.
