President William Ruto will today grace the homecoming ceremony of Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya.
The event will be held at Emabole grounds in Butere, Kakamega.
According to the State House program, Ruto will begin his day in Nandi where he will launch the last mile connectivity project that seeks to serve 6,000 homes at Kesogon in Aldai constituency.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, and Opposition leader Raila Odinga are among the other leaders expected to attend.
Oparanya said Friday they are expecting about 7,000 people to attend the event.
“There will be enough food for everyone. I have been given so many bulls until I said enough. I have been given over 30 bulls for slaughter,” he said.
After the ceremony, Ruto and some guests will be received at the home of the CS.
He said there will be just about 200 people at his home, as per the directives from State House.
“As you are all aware, when a President goes to a place, security is tightened. Those who will be at Emabole Primary School will not all be allowed at this home for the reception,” he said.
The CS added that those who will be allowed at his home will be notified in advance.
“Those who will come to the home will be required to have a card to get in. That is the arrangement,” he explained.
Oparanya, the ex-ODM deputy party leader was appointed by Ruto early this month alongside three other opposition leaders to join the broad-based government.
