Do You Know Your District?
by jamoh on Oct.14, 2009, under Nyeri
In early 2007 we had 5 district in Central province namely : Kiambu District, Kirinyaga District,Murang’a District, Nyandarua District, Nyeri District. Many more districts have been created since then, such that in July 2009 there were 31 districts . The creation of new districts has been criticised by opponents for being waste of money and a populist attempt to please local residents. The government, however, say new districts bring services closer to the people and will provide security.
