Kenya; Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani has not been renamed Safaricom Sports Centre, the Government has maintained.
The Sports ministry reiterated the multi-purpose stadium retains its name even after signing a strategic collaboration deal with mobile network operator Safaricom.
A statement read by Departmental Committee on Labour Chairman David Were at the National Assembly said the deal between Safaricom and Sports Stadia Management Board (SSMB) was a culmination of consultative forums with various authorities.
"SSMB put up public tender notices May 2013 where it sought bids for naming rights for two facilities at Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani, that is the main stadium and the indoor arena (gymnasium)," read the statement.
