Staying true to his promise, businessman Kenjava Mwaniki, popularly known as 'Wakagoto', organised an extended Christmas party that saw Embu residents enjoy nyama choma, chapati, rice, and more culinary items at the stadium in a festive exercise that kicked off at around midday and lasted until late in the evening.
