Administrative Structure
Thika Town Constituency operates under a dual administrative model. Parliamentary governance is led by a Member of Parliament (MP), supported by the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) committee that oversees infrastructure projects . Concurrently, national government administration is managed through Thika East and Thika West Sub-Counties each headed by a Deputy County Commissioner coordinating chiefs and assistant chiefs for locations and sub-locations . The constituency’s five wards (Township, Kamenu, Hospital, Gatuanyaga, Ngoliba) each elect a Member of County Assembly (MCA) to the Kiambu County Assembly, responsible for localized service delivery . Unique to Thika is its status as Kiambu County’s de facto administrative capital, hosting the governor’s executive offices despite Kiambu town retaining the formal county capital designation .
