Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi is hosting about 15 MPs from the Coast region.
The legislators, drawn from across the political divide, are in a closed-door meeting at Sun N Sand Beach Resort in Kikambala, Kilifi County.
Among those in attendance are Coast Parliamentary Group chairman Suleiman Dori, who is the MP for Msambweni Constituency.

The meeting comes amid heightened political activities in the region and also only days after ODM wrote to two MPs from the region, who have declared their support for Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.
The two are Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa and Mr Dori.
Ms Jumwa is not attending the meeting with reports that she was unwell.
