Our resolve to shelter our small and medium enterprises has been evidenced across the county through the development of various market infrastructures. This empowerment avails a conducive environment in that common traders are able to sell their wares as they seek to promote their enterprises from bottom to up.

Our community Health Volunteers (CHVs) have greatly played a key role in primary healthcare implementation and in mobilizing communities towards preventive health care that helps diagnose problems before they can become major. The CHVs are also pillars of our social-economic organizations through which the bottom-up setup is identified and profiled.

Hosted our CHVs drawn from across the county in deliberating our county’s health status and welfare.

The ravaging effects of Covid-19 rendered most smallholder farmers with little income and high costs of certified seeds by some inputs service providers. It is for such reasons that we embarked on cushioning our farmers by availing free high-yielding planting seeds to the farmers across the county.

H.E Muthomi Njuki has commenced the issuing of this season’s free certified seeds to our farmers in Gatunga, Mukothima, and Nkondi wards accompanied by the executive and MCA’s Mutegi Rugia, Mwenda Gataya, Muthini Karangi, Gitonga Kithuka, and other stakeholders where we issued certified high-yielding green gram seeds ahead of the March – May rainy season.

Availability of both domestic and irrigation water has enhanced cleanliness, improves health and food production for our people.

Our synergies with Tana Water Works development Agency(TWWDA) have greatly evidenced this in our county. Accompanied by County Commissioner, Beverly Oporwa and NITHIWASCO Staff H.E Muthomi Njuki hosted TWWDA CEO Engineer Gichuki and his team where we later toured various water projects in TNC being implemented by the agency.

They deliberated on water management and efficiency.

Our young people have a great desire for self-employment opportunities but are limited by insufficient capital or market linkages.

Bridging these gaps and equipping them with relevant skills across sectors would help them realize these desires. H.E Muthomi Njuki led the County Executive in hosting the KCB FOUNDATION team and signed an MOU on a working relationship.

Through this partnership, the youths in our TVETs will be half sponsored by the County Government and the other half by the KCB foundation under the 2JIAJIRI initiative to acquire relevant skills and linkages to help them create jobs and sustainably support their enterprises.

Dispensaries near residents not only reduce distances covered in search of basic healthcare but also reduce congestion at our referral hospitals as well as reduce the patient-to-healthcare givers ratio.

Joined by a section of area leaders and residents, H.E Muthomi Njuki opened Mukothima and Maragwa dispensaries in Tharaka North today. At the same time, he commissioned COVID-19 vaccination programs at the two facilities.

Tharaka Nithi County Government will continue opening more health facilities that were recently completed in all corners of Tharaka Nithi County.
