If you live in Meru County or follow county news, this tag page brings together stories, updates and guides that matter locally. You’ll find reports on development projects, county services, politics that affect daily life, and practical tips for travel or doing business in Meru.
Meru sits on the north-eastern slopes of Mount Kenya. The area mixes highland farming, small towns and protected parks. Agriculture drives much of the economy — cash crops, smallholder farms and market towns matter. That shapes the kinds of stories we cover: road projects, irrigation and county budgets, plus local events and community responses.
Need simple, actionable facts? Meru County has a mix of rural and urban services. Travel times depend on the season; roads to higher villages can get slow in heavy rains. If you’re planning to visit Meru National Park or nearby forests, check park entry rules and local weather before you go. For business, expect most county permits and basic services to be handled through county offices in the main towns.
Development and accountability often top local headlines. National issues — like fines from unspent foreign loans or delays in project payments — trickle down and affect county projects. Stories on our site explain how national funding or penalties can slow work on roads, health clinics and irrigation schemes across counties, including Meru.
Politics and civic life also show up here. Protests, youth movements and county-level decisions can change timelines for projects or service delivery. Stay alert to local press statements and county assembly notices; they often signal shifts that affect daily services like water, transport and markets.
Want timely updates? Bookmark this tag and check back often — we add coverage as events unfold. For urgent local alerts, follow county social media channels and major local radio stations; they’re usually the fastest to report road closures, weather warnings or health notices.
If you’re tracking a specific project — a road upgrade, a water scheme or a new clinic — look for official county press releases and budget documents. Combine those with on-the-ground reporting here to get both the official plan and how people are experiencing it. That helps you decide when to attend town hall meetings or raise concerns with elected reps.
