Steve Harvey set to visit Kenya in September.

Renowned American TV host Steve Harvey is set to visit Kenya in September this year.

Speaking during a meeting with President William Ruto at the Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Steve said he would be coming to Kenya during his vacation period which normally happens in September.

After the September visit, Harvey will return to Kenya in December for an official function.

He said the visit will come ahead of the filming of his game show “Family Feud” in Johannesburg, South Africa.

“When I met my brother (President Ruto), he invited me to Kenya. It just so happens that September is when I hit my vacation.

“I’m going to start shooting Family Feud again in Johannesburg but this time for Botswana. So I’m going to be on that side of the world before I go to see my brother (Ruto) and we’re going to hang out in Kenya. This is a dream come true,” Harvey said.

The TV host welcomed President Ruto and his delegation to the studios on behalf of Tyler Perry, who was unavailable due to other commitments. 

President Ruto mentioned that the partnership would significantly impact Kenya’s creative industry.

He also stated that the government would be prepared to collaborate with Harvey and other stakeholders in the creative sector when he visits.

The President emphasized the importance of Harvey and others serving as mentors and sources of inspiration for local creatives.

“This is going to change our trajectory, we are going to plan more and I want to be grateful to people around this table. Thank you my good brother for what you are doing with us in Kenya and I want to promise you that when you come, you will find the government aligned to work with you and the people in that space so that we can do more together.

“All the people from Hollywood we appreciate you and we want to see what we can do together so that you can act as an inspiration and mentor to many in Kenya who want to do what you do,” President Ruto added.
