Twitter influencer and viral Chips Mwitu peddler Bevalyne Kwamboka has built her parents a beautiful stone permanent house in Kisii with proceeds from her gig.
Bevalyne Kwamboka, a Kenyatta University graduate, sells Chips at Outer Ring by the roadside. She expressed her delight and pride in building the house for her parents.
According to her, moving her parents from a mud house to a permanent house is a big accomplishment for her. She stated that her parents were proud of her, a feat that meant the world to her
“We grew up in a small house that we shared with chickens. It is a heavenly thing seeing them in a spacious dust-free house that can easily accommodate visitors. I am happy,” she wrote.
Taking to her Twitter account with over 128,000 followers, she thanked her loyal clients for contributing to her success.
“To all chips mwitu supporters and brands/clients that have always trusted my brand to advertise/market your products and services, thank you. Mama and Papa are happy they have a mansion,” she noted.
The house is painted green with its corners having blue accents. The house’s veranda is sublimely constructed with a red-oxide finish.
However, while most were thrilled for Bevalyne, some trolls disparaged her accomplishment. She responded humorously to the trolls, claiming that she deserved a world record.
“People are telling me that is a small project but compared to where I grew it, it is a huge project and I deserve a world record.”
Furthermore, she disclosed that she did not only rely on her Chips mwitu vending business, but also her avocado hustle. She sources her avocadoes from Kisii.

Kwamboka advises those who are looking to start construction, to have good planning before dipping their feet.
“It can be done as long as you are committed. Whenever i made a little amount of money, I would send it to the hardware store to deliver bags of cement home.”
She admitted that seeing through the entire project was not an easy stroll, due to the rising cost of construction materials.
“I would estimate the price of cement to be Sh. 750 but later find out it rose to almost Sh. 900. Dealing with construction workers is also difficult,” she said.
Bevalyne Kwamboka also managed to connect electricity to her parent’s home, another milestone she is proud to have attained.
