President William Ruto will start his tour of Mt Kenya region next week. It has become a tradition for the Head of State to visit various parts of the country every year to start or to inspect projects and to consult with grassroots leaders and wananchi.

Some of Dr Ruto's critics see these tours as political rallies when in essence it is clear it is the President's modus operandi as he seeks to fulfill his promises. Notably, the President, accompanied by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, has already been to Western, Coast, North Eastern and Nairobi this year alone. At the end of last year, he was in Nyanza and Rift Valley.
