Thanks Serikali saidia jameni!! If in NBI look for Muigai in Ngara especially for (3). Slide windows are found in Kirinyaga Rd. costs? I paid 59,000/= for seats(14 seater) in May last year. Omata speed limiter cost me 35k but should be cheaper now, not sure though. A search of my records gives me 24,000/= for all the four pieces of sliding windows. Again these are for a while back, i.e. almost a year ago. The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

Again these are for a while back, i.e. almost a year ago. Muigai is a con, cuts corners when you are not there to supervise, i had left him with excess belts and only realized after my supplier notified me that he had packed more than enough. Long story short i never got them back. I would recommend a guy called David, very thorough, does quality work for seats and actually listens to what you want unlike most people in that biz. Still based in Ngara. His number is 0721-960837. Prime can attest to his quality of work. Not sure of cost for a bongo. But for 14 seater it was between 40k - 45k around Jan this year, depending on material and design. On speed governor cost seems to be 35k regardless of the make. Sliding windows for a bongo i dont know but for hiace its same as what Jerry has quoted. There is a guy who deals in windows called Gichimu. David can get you his number, i don't seem to have it.

jerry wrote:@mwanafunzi. You have to accept to share the loot from matatu business. I've lately employed a manager to mitigate against the idea that the biz is not for office pple. I know a guy with 3 mats and a lorry and is employed He tracks his vehicles on his comp as they're fitted with tracking devices

I think the "resources wasting" will be in maintenance. The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.
