They were watching as James Kariuki (In white t-shirt) sensitized youths from Kambakia, Meru on the importance of having a golf course in Meru. 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.
