Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua embarked on his maiden foreign trip on Thursday, October 13.
The second in command flew out to Kigali to attend a youth summit in Rwanda.
He was accompanied by Kiharu member of parliament Ndindi Nyoro, Bomet County Woman Representative Linet Toto and South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro.
Gachagua's delegation also included Nyali MP Mohammed Ali and Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang'wa.
The DP is expected to be among the speakers during the Youth Connekt Africa summit in Kigali. The continental summit serves to realise the potential of Africa’s youthful population.
Over 9,000 youths drawn from different countries are expected to attend the continental summit.
Key issues set to be addressed during the summit include youth's contribution towards climate action, sustainable peace, sports, economy and cultural creativity.
The summit is geared towards empowering young people through enhancing their knowledge and skills while investing in their ideas, innovations and initiatives.
The summit will be the climax of a series of boot camps that commenced on Monday in the Rwandan Capital.
"The summit has brought together about 9,000 youth delegates from all across Africa and beyond. They are all eager to harness continental opportunities and actively contribute to Africa’s socio-economic transformation," read a statement from the Youth Connekt.
Gachgua's visit to Rwanda was his first external assignment since his ascension to office as the Deputy President in September.
The trip adds to the series of foreign trips by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) principals which have occurred in quick succession.
On Wednesday, opposition chief Raila Odinga raised an alarm over the trips since the inauguration of President William Ruto.
