President William Ruto will be in Meru County on Saturday for a series of development projects.
At around 10 am, the President is expected to be in Larre, Igambe North Constituency.
Later, at around 12 pm, Ruto will visit the Kiirua Buuri Irrigation Scheme, Buuri Constituency.
The Kiirua Buuri Irrigation Project is targeting 1,250 acres to be used under irrigation.
Around 2,500 farmers will benefit directly from this project.
Farmers will be able to grow Horticultural crops such as Potatoes, tomatoes, cabbages, garden peas, and green maize with estimated average gross margins of Sh 285,000 per acre per year.
The Sh284 million Kirua-Buuri Water Project will supply water for irrigation in Kirua-Ntumburi-Kwa Mungania, Kirua-Mbaria-Nkando-Maili Saba and Kirua-Kithwene-Njuruta-Ruiri Rwarera.
The President will be accompanied by regional leaders including Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.
The last time Ruto was in Meru was when there were wrangles between Governor Mwangaza and the MCAs.
Last December, Senate rejected the impeachment of Governor Mwangaza on the basis that the charges were not substantiated.
A report tabled by the committee chairperson Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale said Meru MCAs had failed to provide enough evidence to back their allegations.
Mwangaza was accused of nepotism, illegal appointments, unlawful dismissal and disregard of the Constitution and statutory functions of county organs.
She was also accused of appointing her husband Murega Baicu as the Hustlers ambassador and youth patron alongside other roadside appointments of county workers.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Council of Governors Chairperson Ann Waiguru were among the top leaders who played a role in squashing the 'bad blood' between the executive and assembly.
