Higher learning institutions in history have been known to cause a paradigm shift in making of urban centres and this can be said of Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Kapenguria Campus.

The institution has undoubtedly become the heartbeat of Kapenguria Municipality.

The campus has enlivened Kapenguria from the once less vibrant town majorly identified for its administrative functions and the historical standpoint for being host to the independence struggle luminaries otherwise known as the Kapenguria Six.

The Municipality encapsulates Makutano Shopping Centre, which is the busiest business centre that almost confuses many who think the area is not part of Kapenguria Town.
