Limuru is slowly gaining traction in the country's history books as one of the epicentres of political power plays with a direct impact on the political architecture of the Mt Kenya region and the country.

For a region known to build the profiles of some critical towns as the theatre of politics, the recent ripples caused by the Limuru III continue to vibrate across the region, its influence mirrors Sagana which gained popularity as a venue of political interest.
