US-based law professor Makau Mutua on Tuesday launched his new hotel that he built near his home in Mutuni, Kitui County.
National leaders among them Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka, Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu, former MP Wavinya Ndeti and outgoing US Ambassador Robert Godec attended the ceremony.
Mr Mutua, who is also a columnist and an adviser of opposition politicians formerly in the National Super Alliance which has since splintered, built a 10-bed capacity high-end hotel that he has dubbed Kitui Villas.
Mr Odinga and Musyoka are set to address a rally in Kitui town from 2pm.
