Ward 01 · Thika Town Constituency
Township Ward
The trading heart of Thika
Township is Thika's centre of gravity: the CBD, Madaraka Market, the bus stages and the small businesses that keep the whole constituency moving. It is also where the constituency's failures show first, in flooded stalls, congested streets and dark corners.
The Issues
What Township lives with
Market flooding and drainage
The 2024 rains put Madaraka Market under water and more than a thousand traders counted losses, with stalls permitted on top of drainage lines.
Trader harassment and permits
The people who feed Thika's economy spend too much of their week negotiating for the right to work.
Congestion and pedestrian safety
The CBD carries the constituency's traffic with too little provision for the people on foot.
Security lighting
Backstreets and stages that go dark at night hand the town to crime.
The Commitments
What Master will fight for in Township
Each commitment below is anchored in the numbered, measurable manifesto. Nothing here is outside the lawful powers of a Member of Parliament.
A drainage and flooding tracker
Every drainage failure in the CBD logged publicly with the responsible agency named, starting with the Madaraka Market lines.
Quarterly trader forums
Standing, minuted meetings with market and stage associations, so grievances travel to the right desk in writing.
Security lighting through NG-CDF
Lawful NG-CDF security-lighting spend prioritised for the CBD's known dark spots.
Pedestrian-first advocacy
Written pressure on the roads agencies for crossings and walkways where Thika's people actually walk.
