Ahead of the six edition of the devolution conference which is expected to host atleast 2000 delegates, Kirinya county distributed more than 100,000 free condoms in bars, hotels, restaurants and lodgings around Kirinyaga town.
The key mastermind of the idea, is Kirinyaga county boss Anne Waiguru who is funding the drive that will advocate for safe sex.
