Thika Township Administrator Jessica Mukundi has asked corporates that have adopted various streets, gardens, roundabout flowerbeds and so on to take good care of them or surrender them for adoption by others.
Speaking in her office in Thika Town on Thursday, Mukundi noted that some corporates that have adopted the named sections of the town were leaving them unattended for a long time and thus giving a bad image of the town.
"There a number of corporates who after putting their signposts on the sections that they have adopted, they have never been seen there again. That is not a good corporate social responsibility and we are urging them to do the necessary or surrender the responsibility to those that are willing to take good care of those areas," said Mukundi.
She said that the town CBD should remain decent and that the county government was ensuring that the areas under it remain so.
"All the unadopted areas are under us and we always ensure that they are under proper care. We cut the grass on time, attend to flowers and trim them regularly. Corporates should do the same in their adopted areas," she added. Thika town CBD has several roundabout flowerbeds, lane flowerbeds and two gardens.
The two gardens, Christina and Mama Ngina, are the most unkempt with their sponsors seeming to forget them despite residents and local leaders regularly calling for their rehabilitation.
