Kenya to host World League First Division Tournament

Good news in an otherwise empty larder for Kenyan Cricket this weekend. Though the dates and format are yet to be confirmed, this will be a great boost for Kenya ahead of the World Cup.
Talking of Dates, I have been doing a lot of searching for a complete list of Kenya's 2006 fixtures.
As yet, none of these are officially confirmed, but these are the amalgamated results:
FEB:
empty.
MARCH:
Holland Intercontinental Cup 4 day. Nairobi.
Holland ODI. Nairobi.
Zimbabwe. 3 ODI series. Nairobi.
Bangladesh. 3 ODI series or possibly Tri-series with Zim. Bangladesh.
I think that all of the above in one month unlikely. If the Zim and Bangla tours go ahead, Holland will probably be moved.
APRIL:
Pakistan. 3 ODI series. Pakistan.
MAY:
Uganda. Unknown, possible OD. Nairobi
JUNE:
empty
JULY:
empty
AUG:
Canada. Intercontinental Cup 4 Day. Canada
Canada, Bermuda. ODI Tri-series. Canada
SEPT:
Uganda. Unknown. Uganda.
OCT:
Bermuda. Intercontinental Cup 4 Day. Nairobi.
Bermuda. ODI. Nairobi ?
NOV:
Bangladesh. ODI series. Bangladesh.
DEC:
Bermuda. ODI series. Nairobi.
JAN 2007:
Mini World Cup (Bermuda,Scotland,Ireland,Holland,Canada). Nairobi.
FEB 2007:
empty
MAR '07:
5/3/07 West Indies. ODI. WC warmup. Jamaica.
8/3/07 Holland. ODI. WC warmup. Jamaica.
14/3/07 Canada. ODI. WC r1. St. Lucia.
20/3/07 New Zealand. ODI. WC r1. St Lucia.
24/03/07 England. ODI. WC r1. St Lucia.
Is anyone able to confirm or deny any of the above dates/tours? I would have thought that the 3 different series vs Bermuda unlikely, and also the Nov Bangladesh fixtures.
