Due to the ongoing drought, the President said the Government will scale up food and water provision from next week.
The parliamentarians were led by Balambala MP Omar Shurie, Eldas MP Adan Keynan and Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo.
They said their party has a close relationship with the President, and all they have done is “to come back home”.
Ruto’s meeting with the legislators from Jubilee party comes just a day after other MPs from Raila’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party were hosted by him at State House in a move political pundits say is aimed at destabilizing the opposition.
