President Kenyatta set to visit Kisumu for a state Gala on Drama Festival.

PRESIDENT Uhuru Kenyatta is set to visit the Lake Side City of Kisumu on Tuesday for a State Galla for the Kenya National Drama Festival.

State House Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu says the Head of state visiting Kisumu with an aim of presiding over the state galla for the Kenya National Drama and Music Festival.

The Kenya National Drama and Music Festival has been held in Kisumu city for the last two weeks where primary, secondary and tiertiary institutions have been performing.

Speaking at Kisumu state Lodge on Monday, Esipisu said the visit by the Head of State is not political but an official one.

“The President is visiting Kisumu tomorrow on Tuesday and this visit is an official one and not a political one,” he says.

He says the President will also be holding some meetings with various stakeholders when he visits the region.

Manoah at the same time hinted at eminent increment in the minimum wage for the public sector workers come May 1 this year.

Meanwhile, the Clergy in Kisumu County have appealed to the area residents to turn in large numbers to welcome President Uhuru Kenyatta on his visit to the Lakeside city.

The more than 20 Clergy led by the Chairman of Kisumu Clergy Fellowship Arch Bishop Winnie Owiti  of the Voice of Salvation and Healing Church and Arch Bishop Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede of Power of Jesus Around the World say they will be welcoming the President right from the airport and will hold a meeting with him when he arrives in Kisumu.

They say the President is visiting the region as the Head of State and Government hence urged the public to turn in large numbers to welcome him.

"As the Head of State, the President is expected to visit any part of the country and residents of the areas the President is visiting are expected to welcome him," they say.
