The governor will be coming back into the country on Tuesday February 14, and later head to his county on Friday February 17, 2018 from United Kingdom.

"All are invited to come and help welcome him at the Kisumu International Airport on that Friday at 2 pm and thereafter to an interdenominational prayer at the Freedom Square (formerly Jomo Kenyatta Sports Ground)," read a communication from the County's Governor's Press Unit on Sunday.

Nyong'o who left to UK early January, has been recovering well after successfully undergoing a hip bone surgery. 

The 90-minute surgery involved an eight centimeter cut on his thigh as the hip bone was replaced with an artificial one.

Nyong'o who is still in the US, is weaning off the crutches.
