“I didn’t know anyone. In fact wakati tulimaliza shule KIMC, I stole a bed ile ya chuma my first bed niliiba ya shule because singeafford tukaenda tukaingia huko Mukuru we were paying Sh350 three times. Hio kitanda by the way ilichukuliwa na landlord coz singelipa hio 350 the first month. The second house I got nilienda tu nikabuy bedsheet nilikuwa nalala na bedsheet for about six or seven months,” he said.

Preacher

Dennis Itumbi went ahead to say that his first major breakthrough in life was when he went to Nairobi’s Kencom and posed as a preacher and people gave him money as he explained what would be of the mysterious number 666.

He said that it was when he made Sh8, 000 which helped him move to a slightly better house.
