I moved to gimu area after the athi river underpass last year in November.
My Business
I am currently selling car spare parts for BMW and Mercedes Benz cars, I buy ,fix and sell used cars .due to financial constraints and challenges brought about by covid19 and Kenya's economic downturns I operate from home but have rented space elsewhere and also work form my associates' garages in landimawe and Langata. the cars i sell are also displayed at various car sale yards and at the Sunday car bazaar at jamhuri. most Kenyans cannot afford new cars and most buy second hand cars' used the profits from my business for personal upkeep and also cater for upkeep and college fees for my children,
