Biggest Concern About Uhuru’s Visit

Sudi is the legislator representing the constituency where the textile company is located. His sentiments are often regarded as controversial.

A team from State House is already on the ground making preparations regarding the visit.

Nationย established that President Kenyatta has not been to Eldoret town since the 2017 elections.

He attended a Kenya Defence Forces passing-out ceremony at Moi Barracks in November 2018 but did not step foot in Eldoret, which was a favourite stopover during the 2017 campaigns.

It was while in Eldoret that Uhuru declared that he would serve 10 years as president and hand over to Ruto.

The source of the growing rift within the ruling party was amplified by the handshake between President Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga whom many Jubilee legislators have accused of trying to bring down the party.
