The quest to elevate Thika town in Kiambu County to a city status has entered a critical stage after Governor Kimani Wamatangi handed over an Ad-hoc report and Charter to the County Assembly for approval.
Once approved, the County Assembly will then submit it to the Senate before it is escalated to President William Ruto for conferment with a City Charter.
If conferred, it will become the sixth city in the country and the first in the Central region.
The report and charter were prepared by the ad hoc committee that was chaired by former Senator Sylvia Kasanga, highlighting the readiness of the town to become a city.
