SOCIAL HALL; A dream come true

When I finished form Four, I had a lot of time in my hands. Life in the village was a total contrast with what I had been used at School. In the village it was total boredom. I was a good basketballer, I used to play Table Tennis, Karate and I was also an actor and a debater. I have a number of certificates which I was accorded in drama festivals.

Having left school, I looked around even in the neighbouring villages for a place or an institution where I could while away the time and utilize my favourite talents. There was nowhere. The only game that was being played anywhere was football. Nothing else. 

I wished there was a venue, an accessible place where we can join with friends, to start a drama club, a debating club or play some useful games. I wished we had a place where we can converge and discuss issues affecting young people, a place where we can have weekend activities like dramas, discos, or whatever. But there was none. No wonder youths in the villages

300 benefit from education bursary

312 students in high schools, colleges, universities and special need schools have benefited from this year's Kiambu County Bursary fund.

The students who hail from my Karuri ward were on Mid term holidays when I called them together with their parents and guardians to my office. Parents could not hide their joy as I presented them the cheques drawn on their respective schools.
For many of them, this was the second time as by the end of last year I had again presented cheques to a total of 196 needy students from within my Ward.

The money goes along way in assisting parents clear their children's fees arrears, many of whom are usually sent away from school due to their failure to raise the required school fees.

Dear God, May this dream come true

For many years I have longed and prayed for it to happen in my Karuri ward. I know and strongly believe it will mark the beggining of renewed hopes of unity and the door to great opportunities for my people.

I thank God that things are now working towards the fulfillment of this dream and continue to cross my fingers that nothing will come to obstruct the process.

A beg all people of good will, to join me in praying that this dream becomes a reality for it will be of great benefit to not only us, but to many generations after us. May God lead the way.

Muthurwa Road Expansion

I wish to thank all the residents of Muthurwa for agreeing to give way for the expansion of the tarmac road from Junction to Muthurwa High School.

Muthurwa High school road under expansion.

The road has been very narrow, bushy, dark and insecure. From now on the village will open up and the road will be wide enough for cars to pass each other without putting the pedestrians at any risk.
Still, the drainage system will now be well managed allowing for storm water to avoid flowing along the road. This will enable the road to last for long periods of time without being destroyed by erosion.
Thank you again for your support in turning our Ward into a top class investment destination.

How Kiambaa youths got back Playground after 30 yrs

The youth of Kiambaa village had for many years been banned from setting foot at the Kiambaa football pitch situated next to Senior Chief Koinange high school. This had forced the youths, especially the football lovers to find alternative grounds where they would practice and play football matches resulting in the death of the game in the village. Initially, in the early 1970s, before the Senior Chief’s school management claimed ownership of the playground, the field used to host legend football teams from

Do we need scrap metal business really?

Like any other business, sale of scrap metal is used by many business persons to eke a living.
