Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga is scheduled to begin his United States week-long tour on April 22 and will jet back on April 29.
Odinga and his entourage will hold meetings with senior US government officials, senior members of the United States Congress, and key African-African leaders.
He will meet and address Kenyans in the American diaspora and speak to several think tanks. These key meetings will take place at the nation’s capital in Washington DC.
Odinga and his delegation will then travel to San Francisco to meet with leaders and entrepreneurs in the IT and technology space.
His US visit, which will last a week, comes just before the most intense campaign period in the lead up to the historic August 9 elections.
The visit comes just a month after Odinga toured the United Kingdom, where he met senior UK government officials.
The Azimio One Kenya coalition presidential candidate will be accompanied by key leaders, including members of his campaign.
In the trip will be Governors Wycliffe Oparanya, Ndiritu Muriithi, and James Ongwae, Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua, former head of the civil service Sally Kosgei, Sen Moses Kajwang, MP Robert Mbui, Campaign Spokesperson Prof Makau Mutua, former Kenya Ambassador to the US Elkanah Odembo, and several members of the Campaign Secretariat.
