Swift Assistance for Kitui Village After Devastating Fire.

Today, in a powerful display of leadership and compassion, the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Human Capital Development, and Special Programmes, Geoffrey Ruku, joined Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan to deliver vital relief supplies to residents of Kitui Village in Pumwani, Kamukunji, following a devastating fire that tore through the area on Saturday night.

The inferno, which broke out suddenly and spread rapidly through the densely populated area, destroyed dozens of homes and personal belongings, leaving families temporarily homeless. Preliminary reports indicate that over 108 households were directly affected, with many losing everything in the blaze.

In a swift, coordinated response, emergency aid was distributed at the Kamukunji Sub-County Headquarters, where affected families received critical supplies, including mattresses, blankets, rice, and maize flour. The relief items are expected to provide immediate sustenance and comfort as the community begins its difficult recovery.

Addressing the victims, CS Geoffrey Ruku expressed his heartfelt condolences and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the rebuilding effort.

“I stand with the residents of Kitui Village during this difficult time. Our priority is to ensure that no one is left behind. We are committed to providing the necessary support to help them recover and rebuild their lives with dignity,” said Ruku.

Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan, who has been on the ground since the fire broke out, praised the community’s resilience and pledged continued support.

“Together, we will rebuild. I assure my constituents that I will stand with them in their hour of need, as I always have,” said Hassan.

Residents and community leaders echoed these sentiments, commending the swift intervention that brought hope to a shaken neighbourhood.

“The speed with which help arrived made all the difference. Many of our people were sleeping on the cold ground just days ago. Today, they have shelter, food, and the assurance that they are not alone,” said a community elder who wished to remain anonymous.

As Kitui Village begins the long journey towards recovery, the joint response from government and parliamentary leadership stands as a testament to the power of solidarity in times of crisis. The relief efforts not only address immediate needs but also send a strong message of unity and perseverance.

In his message, MP Hassan wished all constituents a peaceful, just, and hopeful New Year, thanking them for their unity and continued support. “Together, we can create a society where justice, peace, and dignity are real for everyone,” he stated, underscoring his vision for inclusive growth in the constituency.

Reflecting on 2025, key projects completed or underway underscore MP Yusuf Hassan's focus on tangible service delivery. These flagship developments have improved livelihoods and access to essential services. Notable among them are the completion of the Kiambiu Community Centre and the Gikomba Quarry Road Modern Market, both designed to strengthen social and economic activity. Road upgrades along Ahero Street, 18th Street, Muinami Street, and Digo Road have eased transport challenges while boosting local commerce.

On the education front, the construction of the New Kamukunji Primary School, along with new classrooms at Heshima Primary School, Our Lady of Mercy (OLM) Girls Primary School, and Our Lady of Mercy Girls Secondary School, is set to enhance learning environments for hundreds of students. The recently completed Metal Training Centre and the Jitumie Digital Centre at the Kamukunji Technical and Vocational College (KTVC) in Airbase are equipping young people with skills for the modern job market.

Education support has also been a priority. In 2025, MP Hassan’s office disbursed KSh 71 million in bursaries, benefiting over 10,600 students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This initiative has helped keep learners in school and relieved financial pressure on families.

These achievements form part of a broader strategy to make Kamukunji a model constituency; sustaining the momentum in 2026, focusing on infrastructure expansion, education, economic growth, and youth empowerment.

From the leadership of Kamukunji to every household, the message is clear: progress is underway, and residents can anticipate more tangible improvements in the year ahead.

New California Police Station Inaugurated in Kamukunji in Time for Holiday Security Push.

Kamukunji Constituency ushered in a new era of community policing today with the official opening of the newly constructed California Police Station. The modern facility, located in the heart of California Ward, was commissioned by Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Eliud Lagat in the presence of Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan, senior police officials, local leaders, and community stakeholders.

The inauguration ceremony marked the successful completion of a public-private partnership that saw the California Ward Developers fully finance the construction of the station; an initiative lauded by officials as a model for community-led security development.

“It brings me great joy to be here today,” said Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan, welcoming the DIG and thanking the business community for their investment in public safety.

The MP highlighted the urgent need for enhanced security in the constituency, especially as the nation prepares for the holiday season. “Now that we are in the Christmas period, we hope for peace and security across our neighbourhoods,” he said.

However, MP Yusuf Hassan emphasised that the new building is just the first step. He appealed directly to DIG Lagat for increased police presence and resources, noting a critical shortage in the area. “We are urging the police to deploy more officers here. We also need a patrol vehicle currently, none of the police stations in Kamukunji have one, except Shauri Moyo.”

He further called for the establishment of a Central Command for the constituency, citing its large population and complex security landscape. “We have two OCPDs, one in Buruburu and one in Pangani, but nothing centrally located in Kamukunji. We must have an OCPD based here, preferably at Shauri Moyo, and we hope this will happen soon.”

As festive celebrations approach, the MP extended holiday greetings to residents. “I wish everyone a merry Christmas, a happy New Year, and safe holidays,” he said.

New California Police Station Inaugurated in Kamukunji in Time for Holiday Security Push.

Senior police officials, elected leaders and community stakeholders gathered today for the inauguration of the newly built California Police Station in Kamukunji Constituency. The ceremony, led by Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Eliud Lagat, marked the culmination of a public‑private partnership that saw the station’s construction fully funded by the California Ward Developers.

“We are delighted to see this modern police facility open its doors just in time for the festive period,” DIG Lagat said as he cut the ceremonial ribbon. “I urge all residents to travel safely and enjoy a peaceful Christmas, knowing that security services are now closer to them than ever before.”

Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan expressed his satisfaction with the development, noting the collaborative effort that made the project possible. “I am happy that the DIG has joined us for the opening of the California Police Station,” Hassan said. “I thank the business community, especially the California Ward Developers, for their commitment to public safety through this partnership.”

The MP also used the platform to call for additional resources to bolster security in the area. “Now that we are in the Christmas period, we hope for safety and security throughout our constituency. However, we urgently need more police officers stationed here, as well as a dedicated police patrol vehicle. None of the existing stations in Kamukunji, apart from Shauri Moyo, has its own vehicle,” he added.

The new station, built to modern standards, will house a reception area, interrogation rooms, a small holding cell and office space for a team of officers. While the facility is operational, the call for a patrol vehicle remains a pressing concern.

Also present at the event were the Nairobi North County Commissioner Simon Odhiambo Osumba, Eastleigh Assistant County Commissioner Mohamed Adow, California Ward MCA Hashim Kamau and community stakeholders.
