From 3 figure to 7 figure salary! Inspekta Mwala reveals how he survived on Kes 150 per month salary at KBC
Davies Mwabili aka Inspekta Mwala is such a survivor. His journey to the top saw him go through a lot of demoralizing stuff enough to make him quit.
Mwala opened up about his salary at KBC during an interview with Hot 96. The veteran actor starred in ‘Vitimbi’ and ‘Vioja Mahakamani’ before he quit KBC.
Mwala reveals that he used to be paid Kes 150 a month for his roles in the two shows. He says managed to survive on that salary way back in 1994.
“I appeared in one show that month, and since that was the amount payable to part time actors, that is what I went home with that month. It was tough,” says Inspekta Mwala.
Salary increment
Mwala further reveals that his salary increased when he started appearing in three shows. He started earning Kes 450 up from Kes 150 a month.
“The amount increased to sh450 the following month because I managed to appear in three shows (out of a maximum four) and soon after, I was almost indispensable,” said Inspekta Mwala.
Mwala fortunes changed when he quit KBC to star in his own show ‘Inspekta Mwala’ on Citizen TV. He is also a presenter at Radio Citizen.
Inspekta Mwala is currently earning a seven figure salary at Citizen. He also has several other hustles that earn him money.
