A needy family in Githiga village, Githunguri constituency, Kiambu county has every reason to smile after Deputy President William Ruto honoured his promise to build them a permanent house.
The family officially received the house in a grand ceremony conducted on Saturday, July 23. The ceremony was officiated by Kiambu Woman Representative Gathoni Wamuchomba who is vying for the Githunguri parliamentary seat.
Speaking during the ceremony, Wamuchomba who is contesting on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket, recounted how DP Ruto pledged to build a dignified home for the needy family after noticing them during a church service at AIPCEA Githiga Parish.
“Sometimes last year Deputy president William Ruto offered to build a house for a needy family in Gatitu Githiga, I’m happy t announce that the three-roomed house is now officially open,
“Now little Njeri and her 4 siblings have a dignified home. On behalf of the family and Gatitu village, we are grateful. May the Lord grant you the desires of your heart, “Wamuchomba stated.
Apart from receiving a house, the family also received 100 bags of maize from the DP who noted that one of the children caught his attention.
“The DP enquired more about her and learnt about her needy background. He later tasked me with the responsibility of finding out how we could assist the family” she added.
