The telco said Kanumbi would invest the money in a boda boda business and use part of the funds to complete his studies.
"A student at Nyeri Polytechnic is our new millionaire! A huge congratulations to Eric Kanumbi for winning KSh 1,000,000 from the Shine Kenya Shinda Mamilii Kama Bingwa Promotion! This life-changing win couldn’t have come at a better time for Eric as he's is now set to complete his tertiary education with ease. But that's not all for Eric. He is also making smart moves by investing the balance in a boda boda business to support himself while he studies," Safaricom posted on X.
