It is one of the main stops to get fuel and supplies. It is about 210 Km from Nairobi. Back in the 1950s missionaries whose surnames were Armes and Campbell built a hospital, which has now become the major source of medical aid for the local people. It started out at an out patient clinic under the trees, grew to a two room cement block house and then into a 80 bed hospital with a surgery. At one time Mwingi, the upper part of town was run by Muslims and the lower part by the local Africans. Mwingi is located in the Kamba tribe. I speak from experience for I grew up at Mwingi as a small boy and it was my father who built the hospital.
