SUMMARY Mutahi Kahiga was sworn in as the New Nyeri GovernorThis is after the death of the late Nyeri Governor Wahome GakuruGovernor Mutahi Kahiga has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. This will create a huge savings fund for development, which should go to building Nyeri's first Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Second, the governor should negotiate with Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), which has built a power plant on River Gura, to sell cheaper power to the county for use in the SEZs. Third, the governor should clean up the county's audited balance sheet and publish the accounts to float the first County Infrastructure Bond (CIB) internationally. He must start the journey by organizing the first 'Nyeri we want' convention to generate ideas and a Social and Economic Council (SEC) to implement them.
