To the residents of Kieni in Nyeri County, Father Romano Filippi (
pictured) is a godsend.
He is always ready to help when they need solutions.
The 80-year-old Catholic priest knows how to shepherd his flock and this ability has earned him the name ‘Muriithi’.
For his efforts, he was recently awarded a citizenship certificate 50 years after he landed in Kenya on January 31, 1971.
We caught up with Father Romano at St Peter and Paul Mugunda Parish in Nairutia on a Monday afternoon.
As we settled into conversation, there was a knock on the door. He went to find out who the guest was and how he could be of help.
