Who is Tharaka Nithi county speaker? Mugo, who had attended many weddings in his lifetime, was tired of watching from the sidelines and finally requested his community to help plan a wedding for him and his dear wife. Community leader Dennis Muthomi told TUKO.co.ke that the response to the father of four was overwhelming, as people were willing to support him.
Tharaka Nithi county speaker John Mbabu offered to pay KSh 600,000 for the wedding to make the couple that has lived together for 50 years happy. Where did Mugo have his wedding? The couple walked down the aisle at St Andrew’s Chuka Church and had their reception at Mwanga Chief’s Camp.

Their flower girls are in white dresses, while their bridesmaids are in flattering pink dresses.
