Nairobi residents travelling along the Nairobi-Kitengela route are overjoyed by the generous actions of Timothy Kimani, popularly known as Njugush, and his family.

The veteran comedian and his wife, Celestine Ndinda, unveiled their new bus on April 11, announcing their plans to venture into several other businesses.

“I want to explore various avenues, including farming. It’s about seizing opportunities that others have laid the groundwork for. This venture is a trial, and I’m hopeful it will be successful. It’s the way forward. We should capitalise on our successes to invest wisely as artists,” Njugush said while unveiling the bus.

They have extended a heartfelt gesture by providing complimentary rides to passengers between Nairobi's CBD and Kitengela.

The free rides would last for the entire Monday, April 15.
