President William Ruto on Thursday held talks with leaders from Kisii and Nyamira counties.
Among the leaders present was Kisii Governor Simba Arati.
The leaders discussed developmental issues ahead of Ruto's tour to the two counties next week.
Ruto will embark on a three-day development tour of Kisii and Nyamira counties.
This will be the first time the President will be visiting the region in eight months with his latest trip expected to see him traverse nearly all the constituencies.
North Mugirango MP Joash Nyamoko confirmed the anticipated tour.
"It is true we shall be hosting the President for a development tour of the region next week,'' he said.
Although State House is yet to issue the President’s formal itinerary, leaders from the region told the Star that the tour will begin on Monday until Wednesday.
