Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki has called for reconciliation during a tour of the Rift Valley, the area hardest hit by post-election violence.
Mr Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who were on a joint visit to the region, said those displaced by the unrest would soon be able to go home.
A BBC correspondent said local people welcomed the visit, but felt resettlement should not be rushed.
About 1,500 people died in clashes after December's presidential poll.
A further 600,000 were displaced, and 140,000 people are still homeless.
