Othaya, a town that was home to the late former President Mwai Kibaki, has remained sleepy with few economic activities.

The fewer activities, except for a few tea farms, have been mentioned as the reason for the slow growth of the town located in Nyeri and borders Nyandarua and Murang'a counties.
