Media has also been barred from covering the visit.
Earlier, President Uhuru sent condolences to the family of Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama who succumbed due to COVID-19 complications.
The county boss, 74, had been placed on life support at the Nairobi hospital on Sunday where he had been receiving treatment for three weeks after contracting the virus.
Uhuru commemorated Nyagarama as a gifted leader with a passion to transform the lives of his people.
“As a nation, death has robbed us of a gifted leader whose primary mission was to transform the lives of the residents of Nyamira through his County Government’s development initiatives,” he said.
