Media reports indicate that former U.S president Barack Obama will visit Kenya on July 16 ahead of his lecture in South Africa.
His itinerary in Kenya will include a stop at the state house for talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta and his ancestral K'Ogello home.
This will be his first visit to the country since leaving power in 2016 after serving his two-term presidency.
Kenyans online have been reacting to news of his impending arrival.
Here is a sample of the reactions:
''Obama is coming to Kenya. I love Obama,'' Karim Ndung'u said.
''I hope he will talk about the shocking levels of corruption in the country when he arrives in the country,'' Jones Otieno wrote.
''East or West, home is the best,'' Vincent Ramoka wrote.
''I love this. Hope that I will be able to see him this time around,'' Gertrude Chemtai wrote.
''When he comes, he should apply for Kenyan citizenship. He is one of our own,'' Karim Sukre said.
''Hopefully, he will speak to the young people of this country,'' Jamal Mohamed said.
