This city in was founded in 1887 and was the first capital of the colony the british established in Kenya. In 1899, the british changed their colonial capital to Nairobi. The city was named after a Kamba chief who moved there from a nearby city named Sultan Hamud. And so to my Kamba speaking listener I say Ni muvea and Koma nesa. Thank you and goodnight
