Why not Nanyuki? Hata Jungus live there with their Cessnas. You have the chance of waking up facing Mt. Kenya.

My fieldwork over the next one year will be mainly in Meru, Chuka, and Embu. Nikikaa Nanyuki itakuwa very cumbersome.

grandpa:

Weather

Temperature is fairly similar. Embu is marginally hotter than Meru at 27.9 vs Meru’s 26.9 yearly average.

Meru enjoys more rainfall at 1,602mm of precipitation vs 893mm in Embu.

Crime

Embu ranks much better in crime compare to Meru.

For perspective, Meru shares similar crime stats with Kiambu.

Meru ranks no. 3 on a 2018 crime index report behind Lamu and Kiambu. This compares the rate of crime per 100k of population. Lamu County had the highest crime index of 427 followed by Kiambu 472, Meru 419 Kirinyaga 409, and Isiolo 358.

Now if we drill down by crime type. Kiambu had 142 homicides vs 139 homicides in Meru, 368 robberies vs 128 robberies in Meru.

Meru only ranks above Kiambu in 3 crime categories out of the 17 total categories. These are stealing, 1121(K) vs 1260(M), Criminal Damage, and other offenses against persons. The latter mostly comprises of family feuds and land.

Food.

Meru has a wider variety of food. In fact, it may be the most agriculturally diverse county in the entire Republic.

Meru is only behind Nakuru and Elgeyo Marakwet by gross GDP output from agriculture. It does enjoy wider diversification than Elgeyo Marakwet though

Not sure how it fares cost-wise though but costs should be fairly similar.

Living Expenses

Meru is more expensive than Embu. But much cheaper than Nairobi.

Rental Costs in the best rental(3 bedroom) you can get will be Kshs 25,000. This will get you a solid bungalow in some areas.

Land Speculation & Real Estate

Meru is one of the most populated counties in Kenya. Ranking at no. 6 out of 47 with a population of 1.5m people. It has a lot more formal workforce since it hosts 3 universities compared to only one in Embu.

If you are looking to settle down, the Runda equivalent of Meru will cost you Kshs 10M per acre. You can also get land at about 1m per acre but at least 20kms from Meru town.

Traffic

Embu faires much better than Meru here. Much cleaner too.

Meru has super bad traffic due to the rapid expansion of the town and poor urban planning. While being served by one major road coupled with unruly taxi drivers.

There is construction of a major bypass but the verdict is out on whether it will reduce traffic in the long term.

Economic Activity

Meru has a larger market size and enjoys a higher GDP per capita. Anything you can sell in Nairobi, people in Meru will generally be able to afford.
To provide perspective, Meru town has almost all bank branches you may want to use. KCB, Cooperative, Consolidated, Absa, Standard Chartered, NCBA, Stanbic, I&M, Sidian.
Embu economic activity can be compared to a much smaller town in Meru county called Chuka. This is the most rapidly growing town in Meru county and is located 65kms away from Meru.

Meru may be a much better place for investment since it is more cosmopolitan. It is more welcoming to non-GEMA compared to Embu and enjoys quite a high population of other tribes. Mostly Kikuyu, Somali, Luo, and Indians.

If you are looking for typical investments that Kenyans make, settle in Meru. By typical investments, I mean agriculture, land speculation, and rental property development.

Entertainment.

Parks
Meru. Outdoor family-friendly spots in Meru include Meru National Park, Mt. Kenya National Park, Ngare Ndare, and Lewa Conservancy.
Meru enjoys proximity to Nanyuki(only 60kms away) which you can do out-of-town getaways to.

Hotels, Bars and Clubs
Meru has more of these.

Drugs & Prostitution
Meru has more of this. The predominant hard drug is weed.

Meru has more prostitution since it is obviously a larger town. However, HIV prevalence in Meru is (2.9%) lower than the national prevalence of 5.9% (Kenya HIV Estimates 2015).

Embu does enjoy closer proximity to Nairobi though.

Healthcare Access

You will find a lot of Nairobi private hospitals in Meru e.g. Karen Hospital, Aga Khan, Bliss, etc.

It also has a ton of dispensaries ran mostly by Catholic and Methodist churches. These are more popular. Examples include St. Theresa Kiirua

Education

You probably have a young family or looking to start one soon.
Meru is a clear winner here.

Primary Schools: Has 3 schools that are consistently in the top 10 schools in KCPE e.g. Fred’s Academy

Church schools are also very popular and affordable.

Career Progression

Embu was the provincial HQ for Eastern Province but this has been redundant since transitioning to county governance.

Meru has branches of most typical Kenyan conglomerates from banking, insurance, healthcare, etc.

Trade-offs from the above stats favour Kîrîmarî

Come to Meru I rent you a place to stay or if you prefer staying in a hotel, I got you too takupea a good deal and all the privacy you need . I have lived in both. Depending on what part you want to live in, it gets pretty cold especially some parts of Meru but some parts are very hot as well but I assume you are operating from tao, so Embu isn’t as cold as Meru. All small towns hakuna mambo ya kuishi chini ya radar. Privacy is a misnomer. If you are after business targeting elite or middle elite Meru is better, there’s good circulation of money but try not to get involved with kiyuks for your own safety. Tourism Meru is better it has many UNESCO world heritage sites. Peoplewise, I prefer Merus but Embus are less temperamental unless you are dealing with wa kutoka siakago.

Which killings are you talking about? Business rivalry ama? I’m not aware. I love Meru so much but aki mimi na baridi. One July I spent 2 weeks in Meru indoors and I still got frost bite on my face, my skin died and peeled off.

If you decide it’s Meru Hola at your gurl hakuna haja utajirishe watu wengine na niko hapa. For me small town blues are too much, I was even contemplating buying a place in Nakuru but knowing myself I am very unlikely to spend much time there if it’s cold.

Nanyuki is coooolllddd!!! It’s a nice place, my auntie relocated from Nairobi to Nanyuki and she seems to be enjoying herself, she didn’t want to go to Meru, alot of jungus who weren’t happy when blacks moved to Karen moved there so they’re very racist and white elitist but they live hukooo ndani if you open something high end you will have customers. Good luck whatever you choose.

TrumanCapote · May 31, 2021, 7:26am

Be very sure that the woman isn’t in any kind of relationship with a meru man else you will end up in pieces in a sack promptly delivered at a police station. When a woman cheats the MWK man is the one who gets hacked. Meru men are extremely volatile, emotional and territorial. Workers often hack each other over women mpaka its almost normal. Also Merus are extremely proud mukikosana kidogo anawacha job and tells you to your face that he or she isn’t destitute.

Embu is where your services will be most needed and beneficial to GEMA as a whole…

Married men in Embu county have raised the alarm over what they call rampant mistreatment by their wives and children.
They cited physical abuse, denial of conjugal rights on flimsy grounds, and ‘cold wars’ within their families.

Members of InuaWazee Self Help Group in Kiriari, Embu North, have, therefore, appealed to the government to intervene.

https://www.kenyatalk.com/index.php?attachments/1622681693052-png.367592/

The group partly blamed the assaults on rampant drugs and substance abuse among young men.
They said whenever they report the mistreatment by their spouses to the police, they are ridiculed and dismissed as cowards.
Their family roles have been diminished and they can no longer lead, they lamented.
“Men have been sidelined and we are not important anymore. Women have taken over as we have no power.
We cannot report mistreatment to the police and whenever you try fighting back, the police act very harshly,” InuaWazee patron Joseph Wega said.
He said the situation has contributed to frustration among men, which has resulted in a number of suicide cases.
“We are facing difficult moments in our families; we cannot enjoy marriage.
We urge the government to empower men and consider balanced treatment of both men and women in the county,” InuaWazee chairman Samuel Muturi said.
The men have formed a self-help group to unite and have a voice in cases where one of them faces challenges in the family.
“I encourage men all over the county to consider forming such groups to have power and for their voices to be heard.
This will allow men to have their rights considered,” David Murage said.

It also has a ton of dispensaries ran mostly by Catholic and Methodist churches. These are more popular. Examples include St. Theresa Kiirua

Education

Meru is a clear winner here.

Primary Schools: Has 3 schools that are consistently in the top 10 schools in KCPE e.g. Fred’s Academy

Church schools are also very popular and affordable.

Career Progression

Embu was the provincial HQ for Eastern Province but this has been redundant since transitioning to county governance.

Meru has branches of most typical Kenyan conglomerates from banking, insurance, healthcare, etc.

Well well analyzed.
You must be an economist to have such precise details
Point to note though, Chuka is in Tharaka Nithi county not Meru County.
