Robinson Kimani was a matatu driver in the Nakuru- Nairobi and Nakuru- Eldoret route for a couple of years before throwing in the towel to concentrate on his mitumba business. And in 2013, he got a chance to go to the USA where he did odd jobs including driving long distance trucks.
He saved all he could and came back home where he set up Rokim Shuttle Services, a car hire service. In 2020, he hoped to expand the business, but the pandemic hit.
