Many people know the town because of its industrious donkeys, popularly known as funda cia warufaga.

The only other thing that stands out in the town is Nyayo hospital.

What many residents do not know is the origin of the name.

A walk in the town chatting with residents showed many were clueless on why this town was named as such.

“I can’t really remember where it came from. But I think it was a Maasai word that Kikuyus corrupted,” Jung’e Njihia said.

According to this writer’s research, the name seems to have originated from the Spanish municipality in the province of Álava, El Burgo de Osma.
