Lack of Registrar of Persons office in Subukia has subjected the locals to more suffering having to travel up to Bahati to get the services.

However, it is a sigh of relief after Kabazi MCA Dr.Peter Mbae stepped to ensure a solution to the same.

In September this year, Mbae through partnership with the Bahati office of Registrar of Persons mobilized to have locals from Subukia Sub county apply for 1,800 birth certificates.

Speaking on Monday in various points of Subukia after picking the documents, the locals lauded the MCA for the move adding that it will go a long way in addressing the challenges that they have been facing.

“We have been facing a lot of challenges having to travel all the way to Bahati to get the registration services. We want to thank MCA Mbae for the move” said one of the locals.

And in a quick rejoinder, MCA Mbae the program has seen 1,800 locals from Subukia benefit from the same.

He said this has saved the locals of up to close to  Kshs. 3,000 which they have been using to travel in serch of the services.

It is for this reason that the MCA who has an interest in the Subukia Parliamentary seat in 2022,   called on national government to ensure establishment of Registration of Persons office in every Division in Nakuru County.

“I think our people have suffered a lot and that is why we came up with this program. We are also appealing to the National government to ensure that we have these offices in every division so that we can have services closer to the people for that is the principle of devolution” said Mbae.

 

The county government of Nakuru once again on the spot following a fire incident in Pole pole village of Lower Subukia.

This is after the fire engine form county failed to respond on time despite calls from locals in the area.

Led by the victim of the incident Priscillah Wanjiru who lost her household items in the inferno, they said calls were made to the County Fire engine department but calls went unanswered leading to the destruction.

Wanjiru narrated that she only managed to save her four children form the fire incident that consumed property of unknown value.

“We tried to call the fire department but our calls went unanswered. Had they responded they would have saved property from destruction” said Wanjiru.

The cause of the fire is yet to be established.

A 21-year old woman was on Tuesday night stabbed to death by a co-wife in Subukia sub county.

Confirming the incident, area Sub county Police Commander Patricia Nasio said the man of the house arrived home accompanied by the lady identified as Banice Wangeci.
