“Following a highly successful consultative meeting with President William Ruto and senior government leaders from Ukambani, it was agreed that a broader engagement with Ukambani leaders should be held at State House before the planned development tour of the region. As such, the tour has been rescheduled, and new dates will be communicated after the wider leaders’ meeting. The meeting with the broader leadership will take place on Wednesday, May 21st, 2025, at State House, Nairobi,” Mutua stated.
