Nairobi senator Johnson Sakaja has arrived in London to prepare the ground for Deputy President William Ruto and Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi. The exciting news of his arrival marks the beginning of their UK journey. The two leaders will visit the US and the UK for 10 days.
Sakaja left the country on Thursday, February 24 and arrived in London on Friday morning. This was ahead of the Ruto-Mudavadi tour. Johnson Sakaja’s arrival in the UK allows him to meet various stakeholders and organizers for briefing before the arrival of the two leaders.

Ruto and Mudavadi are expected to address five meetings in Washington DC before proceeding to England. There, they will continue the engagement started after Johnson Sakaja arrived in the UK. Moreover, they are scheduled to manage at least four sessions. In Washington, Ruto and Mudavadi will meet, among others, officials of the State Department and the Pentagon and the US government National Security Council advisor.

In addition, the two leaders will meet senior government officials in the UK. They will visit the National Counterterrorism Centre and Royal Institute of International Affairs. They will also meet Kenyans living in Diaspora. They are expected in Washington later today to commence the 10-day trip, which includes a stop where Johnson Sakaja has reached his UK destination.
“All the plans are set, and the meetings will run smoothly for the days we have planned," Sakaja said in an interview with TUKO.co.ke after he arrived in the UK. He added that “The main reason for this trip is to explain the Kenya Kwanza policies to the international community, share ideas with experienced government officials and strengthen our international ties.”
