Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto will jet back to the country on Friday from South Africa where he has been receiving treatment for an injury he sustained after clashing with police.
The County boss has however been advised by the doctors in the foreign country to go back to South Africa in mid-December.
“Governor Ruto has been given the all-clear by doctors to travel back home on Friday. He will, however, go back to South Africa for another appointment with the ophthalmologist in mid-December,” Kiprotich Samoei, Bomet’s director of information, said in a statement.
Upon returning to the country, Ruto is set to hold four rallies in Bomet and neighbouring Narok on Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday morning, Governor Ruto will meet friends and family in Nairobi before a meeting with the Council of Governors.
He will then embark on the rallies with the first stopovers being in Narok and Ololung’a towns before being welcomed by his supporters in Mulot on the Narok-Bomet border.
“His supporters in Narok will host him for a meeting in Narok and Olulung'a towns, then he will be received at Mulot by Bomet county residents before being escorted home,” Mr Samoei said.
On Sunday, a major prayer rally will be held at the Bomet Stadium where local and national leaders are expected to attend.
Governor Ruto was flown to South Africa on November 8 after a police officer allegedly hit him with a teargas canister below the right eye during a football match at Silibwet Stadium.
