Kenya is among five countries that US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will visit this week during his inaugural tour of Africa.
The top US envoy will visit Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Nigeria during the tour which kicks off on Tuesday, March 6 to March 13.
Among the key issues Tillerson plans to address include how to help Africa keep its resources and benefit from them.
Other key areas to be addressed are counter terrorism; peace and security; good governance; trade and investment.
The tour begins with Ethiopia where Tillerson is expected to meet government and African Union Commission officials in Addis Ababa.
A statement on the US Department of State did not specify the exact date he will visit Kenya.
The tour comes in the wake of Kenyan opposition castigating foreign envoys following their involvement in the 2017 presidential election.
