From once hosting truck drivers and sex workers, the town, located 30kms from Naivasha town is now home to Inland Container Depot, SGR terminus and the multi-billion-shilling industrial park. All these are located within 1,000 acres of Kedong ranch off the Maai Mahiu-Narok road with the Inland Depot Container already complete. Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui said the county was keen to address supporting infrastructure like hospitals and planned trading centres that would accommodate travellers. To this end, he announced the suspension of land sub-division between Maai Mahiu and Naivasha towns in order to stop the mushrooming of informal settlements in and around the town. “We have suspended the sub-division of land between Maai Mahiu and Naivasha town until we have a master-plan that will control the construction of structures,” he said.
