The visit comes as a number of political leaders continue to visit Oburu and check on his wellbeing following reports about his health.

On Thursday, Oburu received Senate Energy Committee Chairperson Senator William Kisang, Vice-Chairperson Senator Beatrice Ogolla and Engineer Nicholas Gumbo at his Nairobi residence.

The leaders said their visit also provided an opportunity to discuss the work of the Senate Energy Committee.

They held talks on committee meetings, the legislative agenda and policy oversight in the energy sector.

Oburu said such engagements were important in strengthening leadership and advancing national development.

"Collaborative leadership remains key to driving sustainable development and accountability across our nation," Oburu said.

Oburu, 82, recently pushed back against reports that he had been readmitted to hospital, saying he was well and had only briefly visited hospital for a general check-up with his doctors.

"Thank you for your concerns. I have read the nations digital news and wish to state that I am very well," Oburu said in a statement posted on X.

He added: "I had only briefly visited the hospital for a general check up with my doctors and have since returned home."

Oburu also urged Kenyans not to be alarmed by reports about his health.

"Being sick is a normal human experience and should not alarm anyone. The day I am truly sick, I will inform you all, for I am a very transparent person," he said.
