Molo is a dusty town tucked between the Njoro-Mau Summit road and the Nakuru-Eldoret highway.
The town has been there since the days of colonialists but became popular during the post election violence of 1992 after it became the home to victims of the tribal skirmishes.
Apart from the fact that it offered the victims a place to drawn their sorrows, there is nothing else good with the town.Its people are religiously farmers and all they engage in is tilling land.
Teachers in local schools rarely get transfers and because its people do not move out of the place after schooling, the local head teacher has taught a whole family; from the father, mother to the children.When you here a teacher say, ‘wewe ni mjinga kama nyanya yako’, trust them as they taught gogo too!
The most irritating thing however about Molo is the names they give to places
Tembea na yesu
Loosely translated to walking with Jesus. It is not clear why this place was named so, but grapevine has it that local boys who finished class eight would make the place their hiding hole to rob a local headteacher who had taught them. He had to walk with Jesus!

Imagine calling a place fire!! I can imagine how boring those living here are.

What would make someone name a place this way? Anyway, I am told this place can narrate juicy stories to you if you listen.
Here are other funny names you will find in Molo:
Munju
Miti Mirefu
Maishani
Tayari
Kenyatta
Michina
Kwa ngururi
