Deputy President William Ruto on Friday, June 2, 2021, presided over the official opening of the Gateway Mall in Kamukunji, Nairobi.
The DP heaped praises on the owner of eight-storey building Nancy Wamaitha who best exemplified the hustler’s narrative having started as a mitumba (second hand clothes trader) dealer and worked her way up to own the building.

Ruto cited the businesswoman cum deaconess as an example of his much touted ‘bottom-up’ approach in empowering Kenyans at the lowest level of the economic ladder. Former Starehe MP Bishop Margaret Wanjiru was also present and led prayers to anoint the building.
