President Uhuru Kenyatta to Visit Kisumu County on Wednesday

President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to visit Kisumu County on Wednesday and many Kenyans are eager to see how he will be received.

The county is an Opposition stronghold and is the backyard of National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga.

Kenyatta is set to receive Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) defectors to Jubilee Party as weel as tour Homa Bay, Migori and Siaya counties later in the week.

Kisumu County Jubilee Party chairman Zuberi Liete affirmed all was set for the President's visit assuring that he would receive a warm reception.

“We are very pleased he has heeded to our calls to visit the region to launch projects and ask for votes for his reelection bid,” Liete said.

During the visit, Kenyatta will launch the Sh15 Billion brewery plant by East Africa Breweries Limited.

Earlier, the President highlighted that farmers will largely benefit from the Plant that will also see the creation of 11,000 jobs.

The President will also commission the construction of Ahero -Kisii road which is approximately 84km.

Kisumu governor hopeful Anyang' Nyong'o , Kisumu West MP Olago Aluoch and Nyando MP Fred Outa have, however, questioned the timing of the project alleging that it could be a political campaign tool.

Last week, Odinga was in Kiambu County where he was warmly received by the residents. During the visit, he made it clear that he had no ill intention towards the Kikuyu community.
