Witeithie is an estate along Thika Superhighway in Juja subcounty , Kiambu County. At one point, Witeithie was synonymous with crime and gave the estate its current name.
Before the construction of Thika Superhighway Witeithie was atop a slope that was partially pulled down. The slope gave thugs a vantage point to monitor preys and lay an ambush.
Matatus operators dreaded to drop their passengers here at night and every time matatus operators dropped passengers they told them “Witeithie” (help yourself).
The caution “Help Yourself” gave the estate the current name but it’s not until early 2000s when land owners started putting up homes and rental apartments.
After completion of Thika road in 2012, Witeithie transformed into a busy area and “bedroom” for Thika, Juja and Nairobi workers.
Most residents of Witeithie are casual workers in hotels, bars and construction sites in Thika and parts of Murang’a county, sectors.
Liquor outlets are strewn across Witeithie and every street has one. Guest houses offering cheap accommodation are also in plenty to cash in on the ‘thriving’ sex industry in Witeithie.
Thiktown is less than 5 minutes away and is the place guys go to party and have fun. Skatters Club / Lounge, located at Gatuthu House, Ground Floor is a popular club frequented by locals.
Club porkies and Blend Thika are other to equally great night clubs to check out for drinks, music, food and fun.
