President William Ruto will today fly to Nyanza with a fresh bag of goodies as he steps up efforts to pacify the region and entrench his support in ODM leader Raila Odinga's backyard.
The President, who is expected to be in the region for four days to launch and inspect development projects ahead of Madaraka Day celebrations scheduled to take place in Homa Bay on Sunday, has lined up initiatives in housing, infrastructure, and the blue economy for the region.
The visit is one of several the Head of State has made to the region over the past year as he seeks to transform the goodwill generated by the soft handshake with Raila into political gains.
Yesterday, several government officials were racing against time to ensure that the projects were ready for the President's inspection.
