I later discovered this wasn’t the standard rate paid from one site to another; builders were exploiting the naivety of unskilled youth for cheap labour. I decided to save every shilling I could and start a shop business. As my shop began to grow, I’d cycle almost 25 kilometres to Nakuru town for stock and to save on transport costs. It was difficult as I had very demanding customers, so I relocated the business to the outskirts of the town. In the years that I’ve been hustling, saving and investing, I’ve bought more land and I’m now saving to put up commercial and residential buildings.
