Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi has revamped his quest to make Thika the first City in Mt Kenya region by end of this year, which the governor says will generate 50, 000 job opportunities and spur economy.
The governor has reignited the process by establishing a fresh ad hoc committee to midwife the town’s elevation into an industrial smart city, and Mr Wamatangi said will culminate in President William Ruto conferring it with a charter.
