KARIBU KATHWANA MUNICIPALITY

Kathwana municipality is one of the municipalities that came into effect pursuant to the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011 (amended in 2019). The Municipality serves as the headquarter of Tharaka Nithi County Government and intersects all the three constituencies – Mara, Tharaka and Chuka Igamba/ngombe making it a central location to serve residents of the three constituencies.

The amazing Kathwana Municipality!

The Centenarian Vision for The Municipality of Kathwana, in hundred years, is to be a vibrant City East of Mt. Kenya, to drive sustainable regional growth and to transform the county to be a haven for value addition.”

Kathwana Market started in 1902 as a small goat market center, with houses made of mud. Kathwana got its name from a small tree called Muthwana (Bachemia Discolor) that grew in its former location near the Maara River.

The larger Municipality of Kathwana has a total population of 59,599 people drawn from two wards and a section of Chiakariga ward. This is as shown in Table 3-1. At a growth rate of 3% p.a., the population for the Municipality is projected to be 110,871 in the year 2030.

Working with the University of Nairobi, the Municipality has managed to establish a centennial (100 years) vision for its physical development.
