The ODM Party leader Raila Odinga has today met the South Sudan's President Salva Kiir Mayardit.
In a statement on Thursday, Raila expressed gratitude for meeting President Salva Kiir.
"It's always a pleasure meeting South Sudan's President Salva Kiir Mayardit," Raila said.
"I am happy at the strides they're making regarding infrastructure and their willingness to cooperate even more robustly with the rest of Africa. We wish him and the people of this nation all the best."
Raila is expected to attend the commissioning of the 3.6 kms freedom bridge that will connect Juba to the rest of the region.
"Africa is busy expanding its infrastructure," he said in an earlier tweet.
The Bridge connects Gumbo to Lologo and is expected to ease traffic on the Gumbo Bridge that has gone several repairs and limited passage of heavy trucks importing goods from East Africa.
