Protect your employees. Protect your business. It's the law.
Mufasa Insurance Agencies arranges wiba, work injury benefits across Tharaka-Nithi County - Kathwana, Chuka, Marimanti, Chogoria and every town in between. Tharaka-Nithi runs from the cool Mount Kenya forest edge at Chuka down to the hot Tharaka lowlands, so it holds tea and dairy at one end and drought-prone sorghum and livestock at the other. With commercial farming and livestock keeping driving the local economy, the cover that makes sense here is specific to Tharaka-Nithi. We are IRA-licensed, we place with Kenya's major underwriters, and quotes come back the same working day over WhatsApp.
Why Tharaka-Nithi Is Different
The highland zone faces hail and landslide risk, the lowlands drought and livestock loss. The Chuka stretch of the A2 has a high accident rate, and human-wildlife conflict affects farms near Meru National Park. WIBA cover responds to exactly that kind of loss, paying a cash benefit for death or disablement rather than reimbursing a bill.
For riders, fishermen, miners and transporters, group cover arranged through a SACCO, cooperative or association is the practical route in Tharaka-Nithi. Per-member cost falls sharply above about ten members, and the group handles collection.
A lump sum on accidental death, a scaled benefit for permanent disablement, plus medical expenses and often a weekly income benefit while you cannot work. Limits are set by you, so the cover can be sized to what your household actually needs.
