Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi has renewed his push for Thika town to be become the sixthcity in the country.
The governor, while leading the quest for one of Kenya's biggest industrial towns to be made Kenya's sixth city, oversaw the submission of a city charter and ad hoc committee report to the county assembly of Kiambu for approval.
Wamatangi noted that Thika's upheaval to city status would boost infrastructure and create up to 50,000 jobs for its residents.
If the county assembly approves the charter and report, it will then be forwarded to the Senate before it reaches President William Ruto.
