Yes, Nyeri will arise and shine even in the face of challenges

As Nyeri County bid bye to yet another governor, many have wondered what could be the matter. Some have even speculated that Nyeri might be under a curse. Indeed, prior to the swearing in of the new governor, Bishop Paul Wanjohi led the county leaders and staff in a short cleansing ceremony of the county offices, praying against the spirit of death. However, concerns about a possible bad omen over the county arise out of an apparent accumulation of several unusual happenings in the recent past.

Since 2015, Nyeri has lost close to 40 people, mostly young men, in terrorist attacks. In July 2016 Gathaithi village in Kieni East, mourned 11 quarry workers after terrorist attack in Mandera.
