For a while now I have been having several debts, one with m-shwari,with a certain sacco and wanting to move and start living on my own since i am currently living with my cousin. To me all these are debts and I would want to clear them first then invest in a new business of electronics . I know this business well and I also know how it operates. Lastly and not least I will buy more stock to add to this business of mine so that I maintain continuous flow of resources.
Describe your biggest worry.
My top concern is being unable to provide for my family their daily needs because personally I have undergone this life and I really hate it. I have stayed without food and this made me do a terrible thing,I got in my neighbor's house via the rooftop,stole television and went to sell so that I can buy food for myself. Lack of daily needs has led most young people within slum areas to do many crazy and stupid things, this is the reason I wouldn't want my family to face.
What are your greatest ambitions?
In the near future I would want to have a good family whereby I can provide for without worry.I would also want to move and go in a better environment whereby there's good atmosphere for my kids and family in general. I would also want to expand my business of electronics taking it to a level of legal standards recognized by the government.
Describe your usual day. How do you spend your time?
On my usual day I wake up like 5am in the morning when there's work,go to the Water kiosk where I usually work and fetch Water then Carry it to the customers in their premises. On my free time I stay in my house, watch movies all day long and sometimes go to visit close friends and share ideas.
