mission to the country said Kenya was on the right right in terms of
their current achievement.Bruscoli was in Kenya several months ago
accompanied by Mr Yvone Avry a FIFA consultant who had been seconded to FKF by
FIFA
'We are happy to note that
the ministry of sports is finalizing working on the perimeter wall, and now the
laying of the artificial turf can begin. This project has been done within the
stipulated time frame and I laud the Federation for ensuring this." noted
Bruscoli.
The team also visited the Goal
Project situated within the Kasarani Complex where the contractor is on site
working on renovations and was happy to note that the Federation will be able
to move into the headquarters very soon.
"FIFA is satisfied that
the recommendations from the Consultants are being implemented, and we shall
continue with our cooperation with the Kenyan Federation. The FIFA funded
projects are important toward the development of football activities within our
member associations and Kenya is bound to benefit from such assistance."

sections of the media for their erroneous reports on the project recently. We
are on the ground and visited the projects and we find these reports as
alarming," he concluded.

FIFA for visiting Kenya and assuring us of their continued cooperation and
assistance. This shows that FIFA is happy with our efforts of jump starting

wrangles." said Nyamweya
We as a federation will
ensure we complete the projects as stipulated, he added.
