President Kenyatta to open refurbished National Theatre

President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to open the refurbished Kenya National Theatre.

The revamp, which was sponsored by Kenya Breweries Limited, was part of the Kenya at 50 Legacy projects.

Deputy President William Ruto, Sports, Culture and the Arts Cabinet Secretary Dr. Hassan Wario and his Principal Secretary Richard Ekai will be in attendance for the historic event.

Also in attendance will be Kenya Breweries Limited Managing Director Jane Karuku and Author Prof. Ngugi wa Thiong’o.

The refurbishment of the national theatre started in December 2014.

The project was identified by the Kenya@50 secretariat as one of the flagship projects to mark the country’s 50 years of independence.

The facilities that were revamped include the main front face and entrance lounge, the auditorium seats, the stage, sound and lighting system, the rigging and the air conditioning as well as sanitation.

The project is said to have costed Ksh 100 million.
