President Ruto on Friday, July 4 hosted leaders from Embu County at State House Nairobi.
The leaders were led by Embu county boss Governor Cecily Mbarire.
Also present at the meeting were Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku, Runyenjes MP Eric Muchangi and Embu Senator Alexander Mundigi, among others.

The meeting comes a month after Mbarire skipped a high-level meeting between Ruto and county governors at State House.
Ruto convened the meeting on June 4 to review ongoing development projects and discuss key areas of collaboration between the national and county governments.
However, the absence of Mbarire drew attention especially amid claims that certain individuals within the government are working against her.
Speaking during Madaraka Day celebrations in Embu, Mbarire claimed that some government officials are plotting against her.
She questioned why some government officials were undermining her despite her strong support for Ruto and the current administration.
She alleged that the government officials held night meetings in Embu to undermine elected leaders in the county.
