President Uhuru Kenyatta is scheduled to tour Kisii County on Wednesday, February 20, 2019.
The Head of State is expected to launch a number of new projects at the Kisii Teaching and Referral hospital which include; a new oncology center, a 250 beds ward, anatomy laboratory, doctors' hostel among other projects.
During his visit the Head of State will also preside over the partnering of Kisii University with KTRH to start offering medical courses.
Mr. Kenyatta is expected to be accompanied by NASA leader Raila Odinga.
On Saturday, Governor James Ongwae took to his social media Facebook account to welcome President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"Welcome Kisii Mr. President Uhuru Kenyatta. 20th February 2019," wrote Ongwae on his Facebook account accompanied by the video.
The commissioning of the new facilities comes after the county government recalled nurses who have been on leave after nurses boycotted job protesting Ongwae's administration failure to pay them allowances.
The county secretary Patrick Lumumba threatened that striking nurses will be sacked.
Kisii County is perceived to be an opposition stronghold since residents have been overwhelmingly supporting the former Prime Minister.
