What a beautiful part of Kenya. I remember visiting there my first time in the country in 1995. I remember going with my friend Henry to spend Christmas at his in laws. They lived just outside the town. We decided one day to go into town via Matatu. When it came, the driver looked at me and for some unknown reason asked me if I wanted to drive. Of course I said yes. So I drove the Matatu to town. It was full and I would think that everyone who was in it that day still remember being driven to town by a Wazungu. Great memories.
Devolution is changing Kenya. It looks good given that it is not a major town in Kenya. Even downtown Nairobi has some bad structures, Kudos Embu. Thanks for the video.
Central Kenya should really work hard to organize their town and keep them clean and do away with ugly building buildings, look at kakamega town and kisumu City
Nairobi is where everyone in central went and thrived. These are our rural homes... Kisumu is not even having rich people as Luos but those from central
@@lockdownpodcastKE But Kisumu has a very massive middle class population thanks to the high literacy levels. Most Luo lecturers, Lawyers, politicians, doctors & engineers invest in Kisumu, specifically in the hospitality & real estate sectors that's why it's more of a resort city
Embu is not in Central but in Eastern Provence,although it's a home of wakikuyu who are mainly Mbeere as they call themselves,they share their names with Kirinyaga n Nyerians,so probably migrated from Kirinyaga n Nyerian lol,their weather is very different from Central,most of Embu County it's hot despite being close to Mt Kenya when Nyeri n Kirinyaga is really cold due to cold breeze from Mt Kenya,I find Embu I more beautiful coz it has a good view of Mt Kenya,plus they have alot of Rocky Mountains,Embu County should be my next home
Embu and Isiolo will grow becoz of the these three roads : 1. Moyale-Nairobi 2. Isiolo-Mandera 3.Kitui-Kibwezi Watu wa embu wako strategically placed to do business up North, kwanza they will be the food basket of that region
@@mohammedmamo6177 I know queen but i am talking about the new route from the coast. This new kitui- kibwezi road enables people from that nanyuki,embu region to go to the coast without having to use that nairobi-emali road

@Mursal Djama Somalis and Borana speakers in kenya are 3.7 million of which 2.7 million are somalis speakers and 1 million are Oromo (Borana) speakers. Both Somalis and Boranas live in northern and northestern kenya, and they occupy 47% of the entire landmass of Kenya. Borana speakers live in 3 counties of Marsabit , Isiolo and Tana river while the Somalis live in 3 counties of Mandera ,Wajir and Garissa.
Mt Kenya region had privileges before the new constitution of being the region near Nairobi the capital and also home to two presidents before the new constitution. But after devolution alot of national resources were distributed to other parts of Kenya which led to major infrastructural developments and growth of towns especially in the 14 lake basin region and northern kenya .
Embu is a very beautiful County,although the city it's very sloppy,the County is a home to very beautiful rocky Mountains,Mt Kenya it's also has a nice view from Embu County,if you hail fromNanyuki, Nyeri,Muranga,Kirinyaga etc, n u tired of cold breeze from Aberdare Ranges n the Mt Kenya ugly cold,this is d place to be,Embu lands are quite affordable compared to Central,Embu it's very hot too contrary to Central,but they do alot of irrigation using big permanent rivers that runs across the County,Embu my next home Yawa
Looking forward to Nyeri vlog. It used to be so beautiful 36 years ago and the snowcapped peak of Mt Kenya was visible from my Primary school. I haven't been back since. Had to go back to watch Kakamega Town to reset my mind. Lol!
People easily forget that for many many years, this had been the headquarters of the entire eastern province.. some other towns within the former administrative unit caught up with Embu
Embu is one of the best places to invest/retire. But the town is congested and unplanned. There's nothing behind those buildings on the main Street. The traffic in this little town in sickening. People live like royals in their houses. good schools and hospitals in every corner and several government offices.
Embu,my county is a land of milk and honey. The standard of living rather high. Purely a rich agricultural county with the best coffee and tea in the world, largest macadamia producer in Kenya, muguka, expansive dairy farming, lumbering and of course Ishiara livestock market .
Good video. You could at least have mentioned the Isaac Walton Inn. You passed it while discussing the civil servants housing. It's a famous Embu landmark. Still a very good coverage.👍👍
@@lyyyyyyy365 Yes different tribes speak different Languages but Kiswahili is a universal language spoken by every tribe in East Africa. Kenya has 42 tribes who speak 42 different Languages but they also speak Kiswahili & English. Nigeria has over 500 tribes. An average African speaks at least 3-4 languages.
Have to almost all central Kenya towns, what I don't like about these towns is poor drainage, ugly buildings and also very disorganized.Governers really need to plan and organized their towns, they should learn from kakamega town.
@@wamulikestudio I know you people are very rich but your towns are filthy, with poor drainage system, buildings every where . Being rich is not everything that town looks like a slum.
This is not a very well structures town, the buildings also look old and dilapidated. Hope the next governor will be more of a visionary, current guy is clearly a joke.
What is the per capital income of Kakamega? How is wealth creation among the local population achieved? Embu with a population of about 650000 people has three tea factories which topped in tea income earning in the country this year, has 432 coffee factories,largest macadamia growing in Kenya, milk production is everhigh and of course countless other commercial and agricultural ventures. It's in no doubt Kakamega is expansive in land area and population,but it lacks the economic muscle of Embu County. It's like comparing Romania with Switzerland or Belgium.

Trying to fit in is alright, but being sincere goes a long way. This town is ugly and haphazardly planned.

It's hard to find a piece of land here and it's expensive
A lot of ancestral land that’s not available to non natives.maybe in embu town.
Wow very nice 👍🥰.Love the climate and vegetation.Lovely
Glad you loved it. Thank you.
This is the best town to live in and im shocked to see how the residential estates have grown in decades
Thanks so much embu will be my home soon never been there but you have show me now I have idea thanks .keep it up
You most welcome.
Glad your car is back on the road. Embu Town could use some better planning and organization. It seems the place has good climate though.
Never thought that’s how Embu looked like. I thought it was somewhere closer to Nakuru but I guess not. Thanks again for this one A. Traveller👍
It's a country side
Is alright, some think Africa is a country.
Purple flowers on the trees beautiful
thanks
My beautiful county😘. Home to the lovely jacaranda tree
Beautiful landscape
Sio mbaya sana..🤔🤔
