International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, Jacques Rogge, will visit Kenya next month. National Olympic Committee (NOCK) chairman, Kipchoge Keino, said the Belgian former Olympics rowing champion will jet in on May 12 from Zambia.

He will proceed to Eldoret the following day to officially launch an IOC-funded Kipchoge Keino Secondary School on May 13. This will be the second time Rogge would be visiting Kenya.

He also launched another school associated with Keino, Kip Keino International School, six years ago.
