TTT: Did You Grow Up In Thika?
TTT: Did You Grow Up In Thika?
Yes I was born and bred in Thika Town at Starehe Estate aka
Downtown.
TTT: What do you like about
Thika Town?
Thika offers opportunity for investment gone were the days
when this was regarded as an Industrial town nowadays it offers much more in
terms of business opportunity be it in the clothing “mtush” industry, entertainment,
transport you name it.
TTT: What would like to change about Thika?
I yearn to bring change in Thika, I would like to improve
the business environment in Thika by incorporating efforts from both the
private and government sectors. I would like to see to it that literacy levels
are improved within Thika, the only way to improve young mind lives is to
approach Higher learning institutions such as Mount Kenya University to offer
scholarships to the young and deserving youth, this way I know I can see the
change I would like to see in Thika. All this is in a bid to empower the youth.
TTT: As a business
man how is it working in Thika?
I can say the support that residents of this town have
offered to me is undying.
TTT: What three
things would you say to sell Thika as a place is worth visiting?
Come invest in Thika, buy that plot that you have been
longing for, I usually don’t hang out in most entertainment spots in Thika but
once in a while take time to check out several joints such as Blend, also take
a tour visit 14falls or hike Kilimambogo though they are not within Kiambu
County *laughs*
