It was then found important to split the parish into two to enhance ministr

The current chairperson at Thumuru is Mrs Mary Wambui Kamenyi (who is an elder), assisted by two other elders; Jackson Gitahi and Wilson Maguru. Although each elder is incharge of a district, Thumuru is still short of one elder since there are four districts: Kagundu-ini, Tetu, Kiriara and Githunguri.
