Popular comedian Timothy Kimani, widely known as Njugush alongside his wife, Celestine Ndinda have launched their very own matatu, named after their eldest son, Tugi.
The decision to enter the matatu industry comes as a surprise to many, considering Njugush’s background in comedy and entertainment.
However, in a recent statement, Njugush shed light on the motivation behind this unexpected move.
According to Njugush, the decision to venture into the matatu business is part of his broader strategy to explore diverse business opportunities.
He expressed his eagerness to seize new prospects, including farming, and emphasized the importance of capitalizing on existing successes to invest wisely as an artist.
“I want to explore various avenues, including farming. It’s about seizing opportunities that others have laid the groundwork for. This venture is a trial, and I’m hopeful it will be successful. It’s the way forward. We should capitalise on our successes to invest wisely as artists,” Njugush said.
Moreover, Njugush extended his gratitude to his close friends, including Butita, Abel Mutua, Judy Mutua, and Philip Karanja, for their unwavering support in his entrepreneurial journey.
“These are the individuals whose photos adorn the interior of our matatu. It’s by the grace of God. Hard work plays a part, but ultimately, it’s God’s hand that guides us. Kenyans, please support our venture. I can’t fully express how I feel, but I hope for the best,” Njugush said.
The newly launched matatu, bearing the name of Njugush and Celestine’s eldest son, Tugi, boasts a luxurious interior and promises a comfortable ride for passengers.
The couple’s personal touch is evident as the matatu features photos of their close friends, adding a unique and sentimental touch to the overall design.
