President Uhuru Kenyatta today begins a two-day tour of the Rift Valley.
The opposition has criticised the Jubilee government for the poor state of roads and unfulfilled election promises.
The visit is seen as a way of appeasing and winning over voters.
He will commission projects in Baringo and Nakuru counties.
Uhuru is expected to commission Chemususu Dam in Eldama Ravine constituency.
He will commission the Molo-Olenguruone road which will be tarmacked by a Chinese company.
The road passes through Molo, Kuresoi North and South constituencies.
Uhuru will also address land conflicts.
Clashes at Ngongongeri Farm in Molo have been on the rise.
The Ogiek community, Tugen and Kipsigis are fighting over the land.
Two people have been killed and others displaced.
Bishop Daniel Gitau of Chrisco Church said: “When Nakuru coughs, the whole country gets a cold.”
There have been land conflicts in Naivasha, Molo, Njoro and Kuresoi subcounties.
“Innocent residents have been killed and property lost. We fear this might trigger tribal clashes as we approach the campaign period,”
Gitau said.
The government has dispatched a General Service Unit contingent.
In Kuresoi constituency, Uhuru will commission the tarmacking of the Olenguruone- Elburgon road.
This will be the President’s first visit to Kuresoi since his election in 2013.
He will also visit Olenguruone Stadium, which is under construction.
Tomorrow, Uhuru will visit Nakuru East, West and Bahati constituencies.
He will meet Nakuru leaders for a breakfast meeting.
Uhuru will then launch the Medical Equipment Scheme at the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital.
Nakuru Governor Kinuthia Mbugua and his deputy Joseph Ruto say they are ready to host Uhuru.
Molo MP Jacob Macharia said: “We are ready to welcome the President.”
