Ingenuity: Julius Maina’s(right) 'pick-up saloon'

They say necessity is the mother of all inventions and true to the saying, a man in Meru by the name Julius Maina has literally proved this saying by modifying his saloon car into a "pick-up" truck, to enable him ferry his goods in the market.

For him, dreams to own a pick-up have faded away due to tough economic times, and has decided to get innovative with his blue saloon car.

Maina says with his new “pick-up’ he is able to ferry goods  to the market with ease and in sizeable quantity.

In the famous words of Lupita Nyong'o that all dreams are valid,Maina's too of owning a double-curb truck someday are valid. ) Photos Peter Muthomi)
