Kenyans have been left amazed after a story emerged of how four university graduates had allegedly made a fortune from basically cooking chapatis on the streets.
The graduates said to be in their early 20s have gone against the society's traditions and reportedly opened a kibanda in Kayole where they make chapatis despite their education level.
The four are identified as Jayath Achiel (BA Education) degree from Egerton University, Kiplimo Rugut, (CPA-K) from Zetech College, David Makau, (BBIT) degree from Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Josphat Kamau, holds (BSc. Zoology) degree from University of Nairobi.
According to one of their clients who shared the story on Facebook, the business which started six years ago had surpassed all odds and even enabled them to buy a 2-acre land in Lang'ata.
Apart from this, they allegedly own two 50-seater matatus operating under Forward Travellers and three fully occupied apartments - two in Githurai 45 and one in Kayole.
The narrative, which has since gone viral, indicates that each of the young men is required to prepare a minimum of 250 chapatis. From this, they are able to amass a cool Sh10,000 daily by selling each chapati at Sh10.
The four also attribute their success to the loans they were able to obtain from banks while still doing the chapati business.
The moving story has attracted the attention of many, who moved in to congratulate the quad.
At the same time, a section of the public poked holes on the story indicating that it did not add up and appeared to be made up.
The doubting Thomases noted that it was impossible for the business to allow the students to acquire land from Lang'ata which is one of the prime areas in Kenya.
Here are some of the reaction:
