Our Ward

Eight stages. One route. Every stop matters.

Township Ward is home to 44,623 registered voters, from Biashara to Kiandutu. Here is what route 237 means at every stage.

01BIASHARA · CBD

Biashara: the engine of Thika

Traders own the streets by day and vanish by midnight. Waste piles up faster than it is collected. Real contracts pass local firms by.

The 237 pledge: the Night That Works: transport, security, toilets and storage so trading doesn’t stop at midnight. The tender register so Biashara businesses see, and win, ward work. A published cleaning standard with a named contractor.

02SECTION 2

Section 2: where the rain lands first

Ageing drainage and sewer lines that overflow when it rains; garbage collection with no schedule anyone can name.

The 237 pledge: drainage and sewer maintenance in every budget cycle, published collection days, and a public scorecard for the contractor who is paid to keep Section 2 clean.

03SECTION 9

Section 9: an old estate, ageing services

One of Thika’s oldest estates deserves services that match its standing: reliable water, working drainage, clean streets, and security that protects families.

The 237 pledge: a published water schedule, quarterly THIWASCO performance reports, and the streetlight maintenance register: report a dead light, get a reference number and a date.

04ATHENA

Athena: water that depends on luck

Water supply that still depends on luck, and young people with talent but no route to work.

The 237 pledge: push the borehole and piped-water programmes through to completion, with dates, not assurances. Local-content rules so Athena youth groups qualify for ward works.

05NGOINGWA

Ngoingwa: growing faster than its drains

A fast-growing estate in the low-lying Chania basin, where water deficit meets new construction, and infrastructure hasn’t kept pace.

The 237 pledge: Ngoingwa’s water deficit on the published schedule and in every budget submission; drainage-before-tarmac as the standing rule for new works. Maina has served this community for years; its church commissioned his fellowship’s mountain-climb tradition.

06TOLA

Tola: clean water, and work that trains

Clean water access and youth unemployment: the two complaints heard at every Tola gathering.

The 237 pledge: piped clean water as a non-negotiable budget priority, and Work-with-Pay apprenticeship schemes negotiated with local factories for Tola’s untrained youth.

07KARIBARIBI

Karibaribi: seen once every five years

Residents say it plainly: leaders appear at election time and disappear after. Services follow the same pattern.

The 237 pledge: Karibaribi is on the Mobile Office calendar: printed dates, twice a month across the ward, for 24 months. Every issue raised gets a reference number and a response deadline.

08KIANDUTU

30,000 of our neighbours. Promised upgrading since 2015. Still no drainage; latrines overflow; children wade through contaminated water when it rains. Casual work on contracts that end when the road ends.

The 237 pledge: Kiandutu drainage and sanitation as the ward’s declared #1 budget priority: a published plan with named milestones. And beyond wages: help for Kiandutu youth groups to qualify for the contracts themselves. Own the contract, don’t just carry the stones.
