The Committee were hoping that the Njuri Ncheke golf tournament held at Nanyuki sports club would be the last in exile. Among the perks listed were jobs and growth of revenue.

After nearly 60 years since Meru lost its only golf course, the county now wants to restore the facility whose absence robs the town its pride as Mt Kenya East regional hub.

Meru is one of the major towns in Mt Kenya region without a golf course and, once completed, it will be Kenya's 42nd golf course.
