Kenya Air Force Commander Major General Bernard Waliaula officially commissioned the newly renovated Moi Air Base swimming pool on September 16, 2026, marking a significant milestone in the military branch’s ongoing infrastructure modernization drive.
Originally built in 1942 during the Royal Air Force era, the historic eight-decade-old facility underwent comprehensive upgrades to restore full operational functionality, elevate safety standards, and provide modern training infrastructure designed to enhance physical endurance, aquatic confidence, and overall troop resilience across service branches.
Addressing military leadership during the unveiling ceremony, Major General Waliaula stressed that sustaining operational readiness requires continuous investment in human capital alongside core hardware and platform upgrades. Highlighting that the upgraded base facility will accommodate joint aquatic exercises involving Kenya Army and Kenya Navy personnel to deepen inter-service cohesion, Base Commander Brigadier Herbert Wafula commended Defence Headquarters for prioritizing physical health, welfare, and training environments across the armed forces.
