The short answer
A county headquarters inside Nairobi's commuter belt, where suburban retail growth has largely overtaken the older coffee economy. Commuter traffic makes evenings and weekends the busiest trading periods; Nairobi wholesalers restock most shops here. What differs locally is the trading pattern rather than the paperwork: this page holds the commercial picture, and the eTIMS requirements themselves stay on the pages that cite KRA for them.

What this means for records
The obligations are national, not local: nothing about Kiambu changes what KRA requires. What changes is how easy it is to meet them, because connectivity, the mix of walk-in and invoice customers, and how the trading week moves all differ from place to place.
What the rules say
