Former Kibaki Bodyguard Who Quit KSh 700 Police Job to Earn KSh 200,000 Annually From Grass Farming

Evans Mwangi, a former personal bodyguard to President Mwai Kibaki, quit the police force in 1996 after earning a monthly salary of just KSh 700. He later ventured into Guatemala grass farming in Nyeri, turning the agricultural activity into a source of income.

Mwangi’s journey into grass farming began when a friend gave him eight Guatemala grass suckers. He used the planting materials to start growing the grass, which he later began selling to customers.

Over time, the venture developed into a business that earns him approximately KSh 200,000 annually from sucker sales alone. The income comes from selling the suckers used to establish new Guatemala grass plants.

His business focuses on the sale of these planting materials, providing other farmers with an opportunity to obtain suckers for their own farms.

Mwangi’s transition from police service to farming marked a change in his source of income. He moved away from a job that paid him KSh 700 monthly and ventured into an agricultural business that now generates about KSh 200,000 every year from sucker sales.

His experience highlights how he began his grass farming venture with just eight suckers received from a friend and gradually established a business around their sale.
