Ex soldier breaks new ground with trout fish

Elias Mbui, 65, a retired Kenya Air force colonel from Kibugu village in Embu County had an adventurous life in the forces. But the officer who retired in 2008 has found a more fulfilling and peaceful life in fish farming. Mbui rears trout, a freshwater delicacy on the slopes of Mt Kenya in Embu County. According to Wikipedia, trout are species of freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Salmoninae of the family Salmonidae. Unlike many retirees he was clear on what he wanted to do.

“I knew that I wanted to farm in my sunset years. I was prepared to venture into farming as I had a few coffee bushes here and there,” Mbui says.
