Sometime in 1996, Peninnah Wanjiku Mwangi was forced to abandon her newly constructed business premises at Kithimani junction on the Thika-Garissa highway after it failed to attract potential tenants.
Although the hamlet was connected to the national power grid before the "arrival" of the tarmac road, transport infrastructure in lower Machakos was in a despicable state.
