It falls in Central Province Kenya Central Province and is the border region in North East. Ndeiya bounders the rift valley . Ndeiya can also be said to be the Kikuyu people Kikuyu Masai boundary. Research shows that many people in Ndeiya have some Masai blood as the two communities had some close links. Ndeiya people are mostly those of the Agikuyu origin but other tribes and races can also be found there. The region almost stretch from the lower Ngong hills area Kibiku to the Mutarakwa Mai Mahiu road. Almost 55 kilometers stretch. Ndeiya region falls in two constituencies divisions namely Kikuyu Kabete and Limuru constituency.The locations may include Karai and Ndeiya location. The area adjacent to Maasai plain is quite scenic with undulating hills and valleys. Its a famous rock training ground. The region has many schools among them Primary and Secondary schools. Several boreholes have been sunk and therefore clean water for domestic consumption is adequate. Fluorine content of the water is said to be high, hence the widespread Fluorosis brown teeth prevalent in Ndeiya. Supply of electricity is good with most trading centres connected to the National Grid. The main road to Ndeiya can be accessed from Kikuyu and limuru respectively.There is also a route from Ngong hills and Dagoretti. Much of Ndeiya is semi arid and is therefore considered a hardship area. Before the collapse of the pyrethrum industry in Kenya, pyrethrum was a major cash crop in Ndeiya. Poultry farming has been carried out though not in large scale. Most of the farming activities carried out is subsistence. Unemployment level is high.

Overview Molo is along the Mau Forest which runs on the Mau Escarpment . The town was a settlement established primarily because of its fertility and vast vegetation. It is one of the coldest places in the country. This is a perfect place for growing Pyrethrum , a cash crop that can be maintained with little resources. There are plenty of other crops that are grown by farmers both small and large scale and attracting settlers, many of them politically empowered. This massive invasion resulted to a high rate of forest destruction and timber poaching. Efforts to reclaim land and grow trees have been outpaced by logging and charcoal making. The Kenyan government has since declared all forests contained from human activity. Only imported timber is permitted from 2002. Molo town has seven wards, five of them Kiambiriria, Molo, Sachangwani, Turi North and Turi South are within Molo Constituency , while the remaining two Koige and Sirikwa are part of the Kuresoi Constituency ref Electoral Commission of Kenya http www.eck.or.ke downloads pollingcentres.pdf Registration centres by electoral area and constituency ref .
