Moi University is set to construct a multi-million sports complex which includes a swimming pool in Annex - School of Law.
A copy of the proposal also reveals that the management had earlier on set out the programme to be rolled out in two phases.
"Phase one which includes the construction of soccer and rugby pitches is almost complete," disclosed a source at the sports department.
The source added that the University will soon embark on the construction of a pool, hockey murram pitch and basketball courts. The swimming pool is expected to cost a whopping 35 million. The sports complex, estimated to be over 40 million, also includes a modern hockey grass pitch.
The reasons behind the selection of Annex as the preferred location are outlined in the three-page document. This includes its proximity to town and centrality.
The facilities will also be used by students pursuing sports management, a course in the School of Business and Economics. The course is currently being offered in West Campus.
The department has on several occasions suffered vitriol from students for doing little in sports sector. However, the former blames the University for allocating it insufficient funds. A source revealed that, unlike other Universities like Kenyatta University which receives more than 10 million in budgetary allocation, it gets 2 million.
