During a visit to Mosop in Nandi County on January 16, 2024, President William Ruto had a conversation with Brian Kipchumba, a student studying for a diploma in ICT while also juggling part-time online work.
Brian shared with the Head of State how he manages to make a living through various digital platforms despite still being in school.
Brian revealed that he had earned approximately Ksh45,500 (USD 284) since December 26 through Remotask.
“I have been working online since December 26, 2023, until now. As you can see, the total amount of money I have earned is US$284 (Ksh45,000) minus the taxes you get, like Ksh40,000.”
“You mean minus?” Ruto jested.
“I can confirm to Kenyans through my account that whatever you have been saying is a reality. I can say that online jobs pay well,” Kipchumba couldn’t stop spilling the beans.
However, earlier this week the site went down in Kenya locking out thousands of users.
