President William Ruto is on Wednesday expected to kick off a four-day development tour of the Luo Nyanza region. The visit comes in the wake of the newfound working relationship with the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga. 

The Head of State will begin his tour in Migori County where he is slated to visit and launch the Kegonga cluster water project and later inspect the Lower Kuja irrigation project. He will similarly launch the Ngere-Mapera road.

On Thursday, President Ruto will visit Homa Bay county where he is set to commission the Oyugis water project, before inspecting the Homa Bay fish market.

According to the program seen by Citizen Digital, President Ruto will then launch the Rusinga ring road before attending the thanksgiving ceremony of Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi.

On Friday, Ruto will land in Siaya County where he will commission the Mageta island solar project in Bondo before proceeding to Alego Usonga where he will launch the Siaya economic stimulus programme market.

While still in Siaya, the Head of State will also launch the Siaya rice mill project and later in the day attend the thanksgiving service of Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi in Ugunja.

President Ruto will wind up his tour of Odinga's backyard on Saturday where he has several activities lined up in Kisumu County including commissioning of the Kisumu marine school within the port area.

He will then proceed to Kisumu East constituency where he will visit the Lake Basin Development Authority rice mill at Kibos and later visit the Lumumba affordable housing project before winding up the Nyanza tour with a visit to Nyakach constituency to launch the Nyabondo Trauma Centre.

As part of preparations for the visit, Interior Principal Secretary Dr Raymond Omollo on Monday hosted all the Luo Nyanza Members of Parliament where the meeting focused on the visit's importance and its potential to significantly impact the local economy.
