The tour, dubbed the Ukatiba Caravan Diaspora Edition, is scheduled to run from September 17 to October 5 and will take Maraga to Washington DC, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Minnesota, Georgia, Houston and Dallas.

His itinerary provides for two days in Washington DC before he travels to Maryland on September 19. He is scheduled to visit Delaware and New Jersey on September 20, followed by engagements in New York on September 21 and 22.

Maraga will then spend four days in Minnesota from September 23 to 26 before travelling to Georgia, where he is scheduled to hold engagements from September 27 to 29.

The US tour follows Maraga’s nationwide Ukatiba Caravan, which he conducted between February and April, reaching 43 of Kenya’s 47 counties.

During the domestic tour, the former Chief Justice said he was seeking to listen to Kenyans on governance, constitutionalism and the country’s democratic future. His campaign has now extended those engagements to Kenyans living abroad.
