    Thika belongs to both Kiambu and Murang'a even though the biggest portion is on the Kiambu side of the River. Although Thika town is administratively in Kiambu County, the greater Thika area comprising such residential areas such as Bendor estate, Maporomoko, Thika Greens, Thika Golden Pearl, Bahati Ridge, Thika Sports Club, Blue Posts, among others, are within Murang'a County. The Chania River forms the Murang’a-Kiambu border!

    Kazi poa. Nilisomea karibu na makaburi,hospiatali, maeneo ya kuishi ya makongeni na kiandutu. Lakini sikufanikiwa kutambua eneo hilo. Lakini nimeweza kutambua kituo cha basi, katikati ya jiji. Kiwanja cha michezo sikukiona pia lakini nitajaribu.
