It is the administrative centre of Mbitini County Assembly Ward with a total population of 24,858.[1] Most of the inhabitants are poor peasant farmers. The small town is famous for traditional doctors who administer "Ngata", a traditional oath that is believed to protect people from bad omen in life.[2] People from other parts of Kenya and beyond travel to the town especially in the weekends for the 'dose' of protection.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://softkenya.com/kenya/mbitini-county-assembly-ward/|title=Mbitini County Assembly Ward - Softkenya.com|date=24 December 2012|publisher=}} {{First and second-level administrative divisions of Kenya}}{{EasternKE-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nation.co.ke/news/1056-902062-i2t1qbz/index.html|title=Many flock to ‘doctors’ for dose of protection|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001234698/it-s-my-time-to-eat-says-top-witch-doctor-as-kenyan-politicians-seek-help-ahead-of-election|title=It's my time to eat, says top witch doctor as Kenyan politicians seek help ahead of election|first=Mercy|last=Adhiambo|publisher=}} 2 : Populated places in Eastern Province (Kenya)|Populated places in Kitui County |
