President William Ruto is expected to meet security guards at State House, Nairobi, on Thursday as he continues a series of engagements with different groups at the official residence.
The meeting comes a day after the President hosted Muslim religious leaders for discussions on matters of national interest.
The Wednesday engagement brought together clerics from across the country as part of the government's continued consultations with faith leaders on governance, national unity, development and issues affecting communities.
Thursday's meeting with security guards forms part of the President's ongoing engagements with key stakeholders.
COG's meeting
The Council of Governors (CoG) is set to hold an Ordinary Full Council meeting to deliberate on key issues affecting county governments, with health sector challenges expected to dominate the agenda.
Among the issues to be discussed are the fate of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) workers, management of human resources in the health sector, recurring labour unrest, and outstanding debts owed to the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) and under the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).
The governors will also consider the Model County Early Childhood Development Policy as part of efforts to strengthen education at the devolved level.
Following the meeting, Council of Governors Chairperson Ahmed Abdullahi will address the media on the resolutions reached by the council.
Abdullahi is also expected to deliver the 2026 State of Devolution Address, outlining the progress made under devolution, challenges facing county governments and priorities for the coming year.
The address will be delivered at the Council of Governors' offices at Delta Corner in Westlands, Nairobi, beginning at 11.30 am.

Judgement in petition seeking to block Senate from reviewing Uhuru's retirement benefits
The High Court is to issue a judgement in a petition seeking to block the Senate from reviewing former President Uhuru's retirement benefits.
In May, a lobby group moved to the High Court seeking to stop Parliament from considering a motion that could lead to the review and possible alteration of former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s retirement benefits.
In an urgent application filed, Sheria Mtaani, together with advocate Shadrack Wambui, argued that the parliamentary process is unconstitutional and violates rights protected under the Constitution.
The application arose from a motion reportedly filed on May 4, 2026, by Nandi Senator Kiprotich Cherargei, seeking to review, audit and vary the retirement benefits of the former Head of State under the Presidential Retirement Benefits Act.
Sheria Mtaani contended that any attempt to alter those benefits would violate Article 151(3) of the Constitution, which provides that the retirement benefits of a President “shall not be varied to the disadvantage of the holder” during their lifetime.
“The motion sets in motion a parliamentary process capable of culminating in the deprivation of constitutionally protected benefits,” Wambui states in court papers.
The lobby group further argued that Sections 4 and 6 of the Presidential Retirement Benefits Act, which underpin the proposed review, are unconstitutional for allegedly vesting quasi-judicial powers in Parliament.
