The County Government of Taita Taveta has officially handed over the project site for the completion of the Mwanda Slaughterhouse. The tender awarded to Greenlance Limited, is a major step forward for our local economy and public health standards.

Wundanyi Sub-County Marks Mashujaa Day Celebrations at Ndumbinyi Grounds, Njawuli sub location

Wundanyi Sub-County held its Mashujaa Day celebrations at Ndumbinyi playground in Njawuli, an event dedicated to honoring heroes and heroines from all walks of life, including fallen freedom fighters who sacrificed for Kenya’s self-rule and liberation from colonial oppression.

The celebration paid special tribute to local hero Mwangeka wa Mwalowa, whose courage and leadership inspired the struggle for freedom. Despite being executed by colonial authorities, his body has never been recovered for burial, a lasting reminder of the region’s deep-rooted history in Kenya’s independence journey.

The event was well attended, drawing residents from across the sub-county. Importantly, this was the first public celebration ever held in Mwanda Location and notably Njawuli Sub-location, marking a historic milestone for the area and underscoring its growing recognition in county and national events.

The climax of the event was the reading of speeches from His Excellency the President and Taita Taveta County Governor Andrew Mwadime (Wakujaa). The speeches were delivered by Wundanyi Sub-County Deputy County Commissioner Jane Kaingati and County Chief Officer for Agriculture Stephen Mcharo respectively.

The function was also graced by Wundanyi MP Danson Mwashako, Taita Taveta County Assembly Acting Speaker Anselm Mwadime, the Taita Sub-County security team, Sub-County Administrator Anne Mwatika, Ward Administrator Dickson Ngati, and local chiefs led by Area Chief Mwakala Moka. Also in attendance were members of the clergy, school heads, students, and the general public, who turned up in large numbers to celebrate the country’s heroes.
