The County Government of Nyeri has expressed its pride in the region’s historical figures as it progresses with significant developments aimed at enhancing local tourist sites. A gazebo is currently under construction at the Karunaini site in Tetu constituency, a notable location where Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi Wachiuri was shot and captured during the struggle for independence.
Nyeri Governor Mutahi has emphasized that this gazebo is just the beginning of a more expansive vision for the site. Plans are underway to establish the Maumau Museum, which will serve as a tribute to the heroes of the Mau Mau uprising and educate visitors about the rich history of the region.
