Who is Albert Ogamba
I am a third-year student of commerce at Multimedia University of Kenya and a business person too.
What business do you do in school?
Currently,I run an M-Pesa shop.
From the profits you get, how does it help you as a student and as a business person?
The profits are there, I can’t deny. Though the risks involved in the business can outweigh the profits.
Did you begin business here in university, in secondary school or back in primary?
I began business immediately after I cleared form four. My parents work in a Kericho tea factory, so I used to obtain tea at a lower price then sell back at home it at a profit.
With the current unsteady education and employment status in Kenya, would you advise your fellow students to start businesses?
According to what I’ve seen so far, the Kenyan economy hasn’t been favorable so I’d advice my fellow students, not to depend on employment only. Go an extra mile. Take a risk. And earn an extra coin.
Well, thank you for your time Albert Ogamba. I’m sure you have been of immense help.
