What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on building a house as I don't have my own house currently, I will use part of it to invest in my small business of selling clothes and the remainder I will save it for my grandchildren who are very young so that when they reach school-going-age I will pay for them school fees.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that I worked very hard in my small business and I was able to build a house in Mombasa but unfortunately it was demolished.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that I don't have a stable source of income so taking care of my children is a problem forcing me to depend on handouts.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I wake up in the morning and compose songs as I believe God gave me a talent of singing and given an opportunity I can do well so that makes me happy.
