During the Extraordinary General Assembly of CAF held in Rabat, Morocco last month, Kenya was set an Aug. 28 deadline to guarantee they will host the CHAN set to kick-off in January 2018.
Only the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani stadium that hosted the WU18 is ready to stage the football tournament open to home grown players with renovation and repair works yet to start at Nyayo (Nairobi), Kinoru (Meru), Dr. Kipchoge Keino (Eldoret) and Kenyatta (Machakos).
The chief accounting officer at the ministry and Wario's deputy, Principal Secretary for Sports, Kirimi Kaberia, stepped in to calm fears Kenya will not be ready for the CHAN.
"We are on the last stage of evaluating tenders, and within the next few days the successful bidders will be notified. We have checked the bids and identified people who have the capacity to deliver what we want within the set timelines," Kaberia said while announcing the process would be done by the end of the week.
Successful bidders will be required to lay grass turf at all facilities earmarked for the competition, installing seats and repairing the dilapidated structures such as changing rooms and media centres besides laying the IT infrastructure needed.
In mid June, CAF gave Kenya the nod to host the CHAN to quell rumours the event would be moved to countries such as Morocco, South Africa and Ethiopia but gave a withering statement on the state of the stadiums allocated.
