President Kenyatta will on Monday travel to the United Kingdom for a five-day official State visit.
Speaking to the press on Sunday, State House Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu said the Head of State will be in London to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
He will also hold talks with British Prime Minister Theresa May and UK investors before delivering a talk at Chatham House on Tuesday.
“Tomorrow the President will start the visit. The first and second days of this visit are devoted entirely to Kenyan and regional issues while the third and fourth will be devoted to the commonwealth Heads of Governments meeting which bring together the 53 members of the Commonwealth,” he said.
“On Wednesday, the President will spend time dealing with East African and African investment issues and seeking to drive foreign direct investment into our country. On Thursday and Friday the President will attend the summit of the Commonwealth. Trade, Diplomacy, Security and regional development are the priorities of this meeting,” he said.
Esipisu said President Kenyatta will also use the opportunity to sell the Big Four agenda in his second and final term in office in pursuit of partnerships.
“The President will also use the meeting to deepen bilateral relations with a number of heads who he will likely meet one-on-one on the margins of the Commonwealth Summit. The President is due to hold discussions with British Prime Minister Theresa May also centred on Trade, Investment, Security and bilateral trade between Kenya and the United Kingdom,” he said.
“The President will also discuss the Blue Economy issues first at the conference that he has been invited to by PM May and also as part of the Commonwealth agenda. The Blue Economy is part of the theme of the Commonwealth summit and particularly important to us because of a major summit on this subject that we are planning to host later this year,” Esipisu explained.
