The Business woman who sold President Uhuru Kenyatta and Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua a bottle of soda in Matungulu on Wednesday has spoken how she felt to greet President.
Victoria Muthei who is 48 and a mother of three said Uhuru's visit to her kiosk was a surprise. She did not expect the President to be "such a down to earth man".
“I was surprised when he asked me to open a bottle of soda for him. It was a great pleasure for me because I have always imagined that the President cannot interact with people of a lower class," Mutheu said.
She said the President ordered six bottles of soda and a packet of milk, paid Ksh. 1000 and never asked for change.
Mutheu said on that day, she made a Sh10,000 profit, unlike the Sh3,000 she makes everyday. Uhuru was her lucky charm, she says.
Mutheu said the President told the area MP Stephen Mule to ensure she is assisted where possible.
“There are people who come from far just to see the kiosk where the President bought a soda, which has improved my sales," she said.
Muthei also runs a barber shop and a salon. She praised the government's efforts to ensure rural areas get power connection as this will increase the business opportunity.
