Nairobi Cab Driver Warns: Car Faces Auction Over KSh 500k Debt

  • Caleb Tito is one of the Kenyans set to face the auctioneer's gavel, as he still owes KSh 500,000.
  • Just like any other individual aiming to become self-reliant, Caleb went to a microfinance institution and requested KSh 500,000, which was the amount he needed to purchase a car.
  • He had been making timely payments on the loan for a while, but unfortunately, health issues emerged, preventing him from completing it.

Nairobi: Kenyans are contacting a young man named Caleb Tito, who revealed in an emotional video that he is at risk of losing his home and car due to a KSh 500,000 debt.

In the video, Caleb mentioned that he is the eldest child in his family, and he was simply striving to create a better life for his widowed mother and those who follow him at home.

"I'm on the verge of breaking; it seems like Mutua's destiny is going to be mine, and all I have left is hope that's slipping away," he said.
"I am currently at work; I have been encouraged by Mutua to express myself; the same situation that occurred to Mutua also happened to me. I have been attempting to run a business, but health problems have impacted everything," he added.

What makes the car significant to Caleb?

Caleb's car serves as his primary means of earning money, and he obtained a loan from Haki Finance since he required a vehicle but lacked sufficient funds.

"I attempted to settle it, but my health problems made it impossible for me to pay. I put in a lot of effort; there are times when I work for 24 hours and only manage to sleep for an hour, yet it's still not sufficient. I never intended to take anything from anyone," said Caleb.

Numerous young individuals lose their lives daily in this area; they are involved in accidents and similar incidents due to things not going their way.

"I attempted to end my life during primary, secondary, and university education. Hope kept me going; as men, we don't usually talk about our struggles, but when we do, we stand together," Calen said.Daily News.co.ke.

What are the consequences of an approaching auction?

While stating that he is also an employer of five, Caleb mentions that it would have been challenging to retain them as well.

"I'm on the verge of losing everything this week. I'm not very resilient. I'm sleep-deprived and have no appetite," he said.
"Many have advised me not to quit, so the plan is to earn some money and escape default," he said.

Your life is everything you require. Believe me, you will start over. The fear of the unknown is consuming you. I was in that situation two months ago...life has continued and I'm still alive. Maintain that hope...something will emerge.
