Most of us tend to host vigils for our loved one during their anniversaries but not for the family of the Late Nderitu. The family of late Nyeri Governor Nderitu Gachagua has organised a free medical camp at Railways Grounds in Karatina to mark his second anniversary.
Gachagua died of pancreatic cancer on February 24, 2017, at the age of 64 at a London hospital.
The organised free medical camp will be for screening prostate, breast and cervical cancer, the family said in an advert on Friday.
Other diseases such as hypertension, heart diseases, diabetes, eye-checkups and general ailments will also be treated during the camp.
The family said the camp will be open by 6 am and his memorial service be held at 1 pm on the same ground.
“In your lifetime, you worked with the weak to give them strength, the downtrodden to uplift them, the impoverished to make them flourish and with the same spirit we organise the medical camp,” the family said.
Gachagua was the first Governor to die in office. He had also served as Mathira MP before being elected governor in 2013 under GNU party.
