The Senate has been told that the government spent Sh1.9 billion to renovate the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), contrary to reports suggesting the project cost Sh3.2 billion, even as the facility has yet to achieve its full revenue potential.

KICC chief executive officer James Mwaura told Senate's National Cohesion, Equal Opportunities and Regional Integration Committee that the conference facility generates Sh200 million in annual profits.
