US President will be accompanied by hundreds of the American investors who are willing to invest in transport, hospitality industries and other areas.
He will also be expected to meet President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, at State House Nairobi, to familiarize himself with the new Jubilee administration.
President Barrack Obama toured African countries in July last year but skipped Kenya, although he assured Kenyans that he will tour the country before the end of his second year term in 2016.

This is a sharp U-Turn by Washington seeing that the Obama administration did not approve the Jubilee duo running for office and even warned that "Choices have consequence" a thin veiled Message that there would be negative effects if Kenyans voted for the UHURUTO duo.

Nairobi and Washington have not related very well in the past few over the fact the President Uhuru and Ruto were facing Criminal charges at the International Criminal Court a fact that led Obama to skip Kenya in his Africa Tour.
It appears that Washington might have had a change of heart
