It is while I worked in this jobs that I managed to save some money and bought a motorbike . That is how I ventured into Transport industry in the year 2010.
Before purchasing my motorbike , I tell you I really struggled because I was paid very little money .I always prayed to God to give me courage and strength so that I save at least ksh500 per week. It took me up to 5years to purchase the motorbike. At some point I could sleep in the Barber shop because i had no money to rent another house.
Personally am a Luhya and my community has several cultures including bull fighting and cork fighting.This attracts so many people who enjoy this game.
My daughter want to be a pilot when she grows up. (She always tells me that she will carry me on the aeroplane.)
I like sharing with needy people.
