President William Ruto’s son, George Ruto recently made regional headlines with the launch of his multi-million matatu dubbed Mood.
News about the launch of the matatu with an on duty Deejay and bucket seats has been the talk of town for a fortnight now with many wanting to know whether the ‘investor’ will recoup.
Putting things into perspective, Mood’s driver, Lenny during a recent interview with Ghetto Radio disclosed how much the matatu can make per day.
Lenny, for starters revealed how George Ruto started up by buying and pimping Mood’s predecessor, yet another hottest matatu dubbed Matrix.
“I used to work with Matrix, and George loved the PSV. It was owned by another investor, who is his friend,” Lenny said.
According to Lenny, after George bought Matrix, he hired him as the driver and their relationship has been intact and close ever since.
Lenny noted that while Ruto may be the person who owns Matrix and Mood, there are specific people mandated with the role of following up with the daily earnings.
During the Ghetto Radio interview, Majimaji, the show’s host wanted to know whether Mood makes enough money to recoup the investment to which Lenny responded;
“There are times when the vehicle makes KSh 80,000 daily. It can be hired to go to Nakuru and other places. They pay me KSh 100,000. I give the owner KSh 80,000, and the rest is for the crew. It is hard to find the vehicle in Nairobi on weekends, and that translates into good money,” Lenny said.

Lenny estimated that that, in two years, Mood would have recouped the initial investment of Sh 14 million.
As earlier reported by Nairobi News, Mood entered the market with the most noise in terms of publicity.
It captured the attention of many Kenyans with the fact that it is fitted with a deejay deck and bucket seats, not to mention solar panels to power it all.
The matatu hit the road after a fun-filled official launch that was hosted at the KICC grounds.
Gen Zs could not keep calm as they hit CBD to usher in the new matatu which has fast become the darling of many.
