No wonder Anne Waiguru's hairstylist, Josephine Kabura joined that quarry business with the NYS loot.

Fake story

Having spent many years in construction,Ballast and machine cut quarries in Kajiado and machakos China wuyi, Kays, aristo, mugoya, suraya, blue stone, rajani start production at 4AM in the morning.Some produce overnight because it's a Volume business.

In the ballast and stone production business,the driver loader operator and other labourers are paid on a daily basis between 1000-2000 per day,No work No pay...These people work hand in hand with brokers and tipper drivers.Although they drink changaa/Makali..they are very effective.no work no pay,they don't mess up.very disciplined chaps.

I don't see how someone who used to earn 1MN salary per month would venture in stone production business at 40 years.It just proves low IQ.very stressful unless you are doing money laundering.

Land leasing cost 5MN plus,Machine 5MN plus (chinese crusher 5MN or European crusher 10MN) licensing and other production related costs (pickup welding machine store power installation) another 5MN,It means the start up cost are over 15MN.

I haven't factored the wheel loader for loading or clearing another 5MN and excavator which would cost 5MN+..but if it's a small start up you would hire them and pay the owner 1000 bob per every tipper loaded.

To make matters worse,the cost of soil excavation before you hit main rock.

Such a business requires investment from stolen GOK taxes not hard earned money.

1) Precisely,If you are a governor,the first business you own is a quarry.You buy and quarry and related machines which enables you to supply the county projects with hard-core ballast and murram.Its the same thing with ministry of roads and public works,you get a kickback and supply ministry contractors with cranes excavators and aggregate crusher in heavy intensive projects.So if you go to most quarries nowadays you will see Chinese or Indian producers and you know who is hiding behind them.Incase you steal money from SGR or JKIA or Expressway Project,You will need a quarry to supply the project with ballast and use the rest of the ballast to build a high rise building in westlands.

Quarry CAPEX.
Land 5-10MN
European ballast maker/stone cutter-10MN+ Avoid Chinese.
Excavator + Wheel loader-10MN
Licenses NEMA etc-2MN+
Godown/Pickup/Electricity/Generator/Welding machine-5MN +

Actually we are talking between 20-40MN.

The quarry business requires a good pickup for sourcing diesel with mitungi,then these production machin3s run on hydraulics,so you will spend so much time in industrial area looking for hydraulics lines or repairing pumps and a standby welding team for frequent servicing.

Another factor is being there fulltime,kidogo kidogo two or three lorries of ballast or kokoto have been stolen or the operator has stolen siphoned diesel,

The stress involved requires either stolen or inherited money,If not the two a very dumb person who thought he would make millions.i have seen people die of heart attacks from these business or become completely poor.Its like matatu business.

AVOID.

It reminds of a manger who back in the 1980's retired in his 40's to go farmin Kitale. After some years of tolling he told me had he known what farming really is he would have never given up his well paying job in Nairobi for that venture.

So after kitu 20yrs as couch potato writting software for ngos as Njamba would say - I decided to take early retirement - cashed out pension - tururu kajiado - quarry - crushing stones. Not easy as I thought. But definitely I feel "alive" - healthy - like I havent felt the last decades sitting in computer. The major downside apart from money sinking going on is dealing with riff-raff - drunkard mechanic, driver, operator -   and zero work ethic - guys arrive at site 9ish and start to prepare tea - start work at 10ish - mvua kidogo - I basically need to be there - evading elephants, monkeys and etc of Kajiado. I forget something must break every day - there has to be repairs for xyz - every single day.

The West is angry someone can do it better than them. Israel is using WhatsApp and such to kill Palestinians.

They can manipulate people to fit their agenda.

Yeah, too many court cases but not just that.

I thought I had it all figured out, I’ll retire in my mid 40s, attend to my metaverse cafe, pro bono, travel, nipate. With the world falling apart and the next generation being shameless, I feel a bit guilty to just watch it burn from the comfort of my time in history. I owe the world nothing but why do I feel this nagging sense of duty? Do you get this too?
