Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga and his deputy Caroline Karugu at a past tree planting exercise.

The Nyeri governorship was thrust onto Mutahi Kahiga’s lap in a most unexpected manner.

It would have been a stroke of serendipity had it also not involved the demise of Wahome Gakuru, on whose ticket Kahiga had been elected to lead the county government as number two in command.
