Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika on Thursday visited Tule Kienyeji restaurant following a widely shared social media video by its owner, Harriet Akinyi, appealing for support to keep the business running. The video circulated widely on social media platforms, drawing public attention to the challenges faced by small businesses. In her video, Akinyi said she had invested more than Sh1 million in the restaurant, including construction, equipment, furnishings and stock, but said customer turnout had remained low. One resident, identified only as Loice, said she visited the restaurant after watching the video on social media and felt compelled to support a local entrepreneur. A bodaboda rider was also seen offering free transport to customers heading to the restaurant from various parts of Nakuru.
