If you live in Juja, the name of your Member of Parliament (MP) pops up whenever local news talks about development projects or constituency meetings. The current Juja MP, Hon. James Githuka, has been serving since the 2022 elections and focuses on improving schools, health centers, and road networks.
Why does this matter to you? An active MP can push for funds, lobby the national government, and bring attention to community concerns that might otherwise get ignored. Knowing what he’s doing helps you decide when to speak up, vote, or support a project.
Education upgrades: The MP has secured budget allocations for renovating three primary schools in Juja and for equipping them with computer labs. Parents have reported better learning conditions and fewer class cancellations during rainy seasons.
Health outreach: In partnership with the County Health Department, the MP’s office launched a mobile clinic that visits remote villages twice a month. The service provides vaccinations, maternal check‑ups, and basic diagnostics—crucial for residents far from the main hospital.
Road improvements: A 15‑kilometer stretch of the Juja‑Thika road is slated for resurfacing by the end of the year. This project aims to reduce travel time for commuters and cut down on vehicle wear and tear, which many locals have complained about.
Connecting with your MP doesn’t require a formal letter every time. Attend the monthly constituency meetings held at the local community hall—these are open to anyone who wants to voice an issue. Bring clear, specific points: for example, “the water pump on Kileleshwa Road leaks after heavy rain.” The staff usually takes notes and forwards them to the MP.
Social media is another easy channel. Hon. Githuka’s official Facebook page posts updates on upcoming projects and invites feedback through comments or direct messages. A quick thumbs‑up or a short question can keep you in the loop.
If you’re part of a youth group, women’s association, or local business council, request a sit‑down with the MP’s liaison officer. They often schedule one‑on‑one sessions for community leaders to discuss larger initiatives like entrepreneurship grants or sports facilities.
Remember, accountability works both ways. Track promised projects on the County Development Portal and compare them with what you hear at meetings. If something stalls, a polite reminder can move things forward faster than you think.
In short, the Juja MP is more than a name on a ballot—he’s a conduit for resources that shape daily life. Stay informed about his activities, use the simple ways to reach out, and help keep your constituency moving in the right direction.
Judy Thuo, the widow of George Thuo, has made an impassioned plea to Judge Roselyn Korir to impose severe punishment on six individuals convicted of poisoning her husband. The former MP was found to have been murdered using Cyhalothrine pesticide at Porkies Club, and the widow emphasizes that justice must be served.
