Martin Mutai, 32, studied criminology, became a hawker and ended up as a major textile dealer at Nkubu town in Meru County.
Mutai started off with a paltry Sh10,000 capital but he says his desire to excel was driven by a passion for fashion, which led to the development of Mutex General Supplies Ltd. The fashion house located opposite Consolata Hospital in Nkubu town, is Meru’s third biggest.
