Speaking in an interview, Njugush, who rose to fame through his act on the popular TV show Househelps of Kawangware, expressed his desire to leave the spotlight by the time he turns 40.
"Later in life, I am looking forward to exiting the stage," he said. "I want to assure my future and my children. My ideal 40s would be spent somewhere deep in a ranch milking cows because at the end of the day, why do we live?"
