President William Ruto is visiting Homa Bay County today as part of his first tour of the Nyanza region since taking office.
Dr. Ruto is currently attending a prayer service at African Inland Church (AIC) in Homa Bay town and is expected to meet with residents later.
Gladys Wanga, the governor of Homa Bay County, is not accompanying the President because she is on official duties.
“I wish to extend a warm welcome to the President on behalf of the great people of Homa Bay and request him to feel at home. I’m however out of the county on official duty and will therefore be unable to join HE for the church service and have communicated the same to His Excellency,” she said.
Dr. Ruto’s visit comes as residents of Homa Bay County and the Nyanza region grapple with the defeat of Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Presidential candidate Raila Odinga in the August 9 election.
