President Uhuru Kenyatta may have after all cancelled his Nyanza tour that was to start on Thursday, it has emerged.
Instead, Uhuru along with ODM leader Raila Odinga will only attend International Youths Day event at Kisii on Sunday where they are expected to commission an international stadium.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Raila, who was said to Uhuru's host, downplayed the reports insisting that he was not aware of the trip.
"I have just heard from the media that I am planning a tour to Nyanza with the president. I don't know where the media is getting these stories from because there is nothing like that.
"Any official communication by the president is made at State House while mine will be announced here at the party headquarters," he said.
But Kisii Youth Minister Duke Mainga confirmed attendance by the two leaders during the International Youth Day on Sunday.
"Both have confirmed attendance and the county is ready to host them. The function will mark the official opening of KICOSCA games," he said.
Gusii stadium, which has been under renovation, is about 95 per cent complete and ready to host the two principals according to Governor James Ongwae.
