Njugush’s Matatu Business
Njugush and Celestine ventured into the matatu industry in April 2024.
At the launch of their first matatu, Njugush expressed enthusiasm about diversifying his ventures.
“I want to explore different opportunities, including farming. This is a trial, and I’m hopeful it will succeed. As artists, we should use our success wisely and invest in different ventures,” he stated.

“These are the people whose images are inside our matatu. Hard work is essential, but ultimately, it’s God’s grace. Kenyans, please support our venture. I’m hopeful for the best,” he added.
The couple has named both 36-seater matatus after their sons, Tugi and Toria.
