Kamulu at a Glance
Kamulu sits along Kangundo Road, 35 km east of Nairobi CBD. Once a sleepy rural centre, it has exploded into a vibrant residential hub dotted with new gated estates, shopping centres like Siloam and Ol Donyo Sabuk Mall, and dozens of SACCO bus termini. The area’s rapid growth means more households rely on televisions for entertainment, news, and even live‑streamed church services. When a screen goes dark, the household feels the impact immediately—hence the need for fast, reliable repair.
