Dr. Kinuthia came back to Kenya in 1971 and began work with the now defunct East African Airways as Assistant International Relations Manager.

He pitched the idea to the then president of the Republic of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta who presented him with Kshs 2 million.� It was then that Rioki Cultural Centre at Karia Village, Githunguri, Kiambu county was born.

One of the aims of Rioki Cultural Centre was to inculcate morals and values to students and local people so they can be better citizens of Kenya. The community center now supports 97 AIDS orphans who live with their grand parents. We provide the children with food, clothing and shelter.� W e also support them with school uniform and shoes as part of Rioki Cultural Centre Trust through donations and grants that we receive from the benevolent local and international visitors.

The people of Kiambu have persuaded me to contest the Senate seat for the county of Kiambu. I wish to appeal to well wishers to donate to Dr. Kinuthia for the foster parent program and upkeep of the AIDS orphans.

Thank you and warmest regards,

Dr. Kinuthia Njoroge
