      That's nice, but am sure you are confusing Kwa Maiko (this one) and Kiamako (near Huruma in Nairobi) that sells goat meat. Thanks though

    Interesting to be in Kwa Maiko. Initially I thought the name came from a colonial settler. Mr lone traveller I am not sure whether you have given us your name. The other thing is have you ever thought of contacting Jeremy Damaris of Kenya Diaspora? If you can get an interview with him. That will guarantee you a huge coverage.

    You should visit those towns that are are along Kenyatta road to Gatundu town ie kimunyu, mutomo , icaweri to Gatundu. Am from Gatundu town though we no longer live there my dad bought a piece of land at Athi river in 2000 so we relocate from ancestral land to there though our inheritance is still in Gatundu south because that is where my grave is just next to my parents.
    That is not my concern, my concern is we have estates very rich mushrooming eveyday neighbourhoods , roads 💯, best hospital level 4 which is under Kenyatta university, there is KMTC and MAMA NGINA UNIVERSITY, we have best high schools like Muhoho boys , Ituru boys, Mururia boys , Karinga Girls, Muthiga girls, kimunyu boys, etc they have good performances we have the modern market and bus station,but Gatundu town doesn’t grow despite the two presidents coming from there the town still have old structures. Maybe when you go there we will know what the problem is .
