NAIROBI, Kenya, April 26 – Some 10,000 Ukambani leaders and professionals on Tuesday met President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi, to discuss development of the Lower Eastern region.
The meeting, attended by Deputy President William Ruto and several Cabinet Secretaries, draws leaders from the three Ukambani counties of Kitui, Machakos and Makueni.
The gathering of Ukambani leaders follows a similar meeting with leaders from Kitui county two weeks ago at State House, Nairobi.
President Kenyatta and Deputy President Ruto, together with a number of Cabinet Secretaries, first held a meeting with elected leaders from Ukambani before joining the thousands of other leaders for an all-inclusive meeting at the State House gardens.
