On a breathtaking slope of Kiima Kimwe hill, the historic fortress of the father of the famous veteran freedom fighter, the late Joseph Paul Ngei, Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has unveiled a magnificent governor's office, dubbed the 'Machakos White House', in the New Machakos City.
Located barely three kilometers from the county headquarters off Machakos-Nairobi highway, the office compound boasts of a huge parking area comprising VIP as well as staff parking. Entry into the compound is controlled by inspectorate officers with the backing of Administration Police officers.
According to Dr Mutua, the plan is to modernize Machakos and create tens of thousands of both direct and indirect jobs for the people, particularly the youth. The office will enable the governor provide services more efficiently since his team is closer to him.
On May 7, 2020, Dr Mutua hosted Governors Wycliffe Oparanya (Kakamega), Mohammed Kuti (Isiolo) and Joseph Ole Lenku (Kajiado) at the newly built mansion, which has set tongues wagging across the country.
