A 45-year-old man who hit headlines a few weeks ago after single-handedly constructing a 1.5-kilometer road in his village in Murang’a County has received goodies from a number of corporates.
Some companies have come out to reward Nicholas Muchami in recognition of his selfless efforts. Muchami from Kaganda village in Kiharu Constituency earned praises after volunteering to dig and level the abandoned road without any help.
Kahuti Water and Sanitation Company have already connected Muchami’s home with water to appreciate his work.
ABC Bank has offered to buy feeds for the hero’s cows for a period of six months in addition to registering him in a Sacco where he can save his earnings from milk.
On the other hand, Rhino Mabati Factory has offered iron sheets to build a shed for his cows as well as connect his home with electricity.
Speaking to the Daily Nation, Muchemi said he decided to solely build the road connecting his village to Kaganda shopping Centre after the footpath they were using before was blocked by the landowner.
He said appeals to the local leaders to work on the designated road fell on deaf ears.
“I had made desperate appeals to the local leaders to have the road built but all in vain. It was then that I decided to build it using my farm tools for the sake of women and children and to save time,” he said.
It took him eight days working from 6 am to 6 pm to complete the road.
Good job. These are the…
Good job. These are the kind of people that need to be honored during mashujaa day.

While some of our leaders are busy stealing from poor Kenyans, this ordinary poor farmer is volunteering his time using simple tools to pave a road for his fellow villagers. I wish all Kenyans would be having such a heart; a heart of service to mankind!

There is a great lesson to be learned here. “The Law Of Giving And Receiving”. When you give selflessly, good things come your way effortlessly. Those who don’t understand this law will continue tithing, “giving to God”, kupanda mbegu, worshipping, praying, singing till kingdom come, but all in vain.

I hope he Watches out for Soil erosion too. So many Rural roads; too much Soil going to Lake Victoria – Nile – Egypt. Or from Muranga to whatever nearby Rivers or Lakes.

Good stuff. These are the type of Kenyans that should get the Head of State Commendation, not some loose mouthed slay queens

I hope that this story does not make some local leaders neglect their resposiblities to the public,and start claiming that instead of waiting for bureaucracy to easy ways, people should “induce” their own MUCHEMI into action.
I wish he could at least vie…
I wish he could at least vie for a MCA job. These are the kind of guys that our leaders should emulate, since they don’t seem to have his kind of mettle.

Nicholas is a rare character not only in Kenya but in the whole world. He has determination and self sacrifice, a component that is disappearing from humanity these days. I hope he is given a Medal of Honor by the state.

kudo for this humble man who sacrificed his blood for the sake of women and children. Where are you guys with millions and billions to recognize this good hearted man. the bible says it will be very hard for a rich man to go heaven just its hard for camel to go through the eye of an needle.God bless this great man.
Than Government (Muranga)…
Than Government (Muranga) should calculate how much it would cost to build such a road and compensate him with the exact amount.
