John Githongo had fled after receiving death threats
Kenya's prime minister has welcomed former anti-corruption chief John Githongo home after three years of self-imposed exile.
Raila Odinga held talks with the ex anti-graft investigator, who is in Kenya for a brief visit.
Mr Githongo fled to the UK saying he feared for his life, after accusing senior members of the government of "massive looting".
He is also expected to give a speech at a public anti-corruption forum.
In an interview before he left the UK, he told the BBC he was no longer afraid for his life. He said Kenya had changed significantly over the past few months.
Mr Githongo was appointed to oversee the fight against graft after President Mwai Kibaki came to power in 2002.
He exposed a scam in which state contracts worth more than $1bn (£0.5bn) were secretly awarded to phantom firms. For more details please click here
