“Walipita Mita Mbili”: Jalang’o Says Maina Kageni, King’ang’i Get Paid Over Ksh 2M Monthly
"Mtu kama Maina na King'ang'i walipita mita mbili kitambo," Jalang'o/ collage.
Lang’ata Member of Parliament Phelix Odiwuor alias Jalang’o has stated that Classic 105 presenters Maina Kageni and King’ang’i get paid over Ksh 2M per month.
Speaking on the Iko Nini Podcast, Jalang’o said there are Kenya’s media personalities who earn over Ksh 2M salary because of their brand, creativity in the industry, fan base and hard work.
“Mtu kama Maina na King’ang’i walipita mita mbili kitambo. Wale ni matajiri. Maina akienda Show, every break kuna commercial. Every single property kwa Show yake iwe Trafficbau news is sponsored. Easily, when Maina sits in his Show, he makes for you Ksh 10M per day,” Jalang’o revealed as he explained how the two presenters get paid heavily.
Jalang’o went ahead and explained that for Maina Kageni and King’ang’i to earn that huge amount of money, demands hard work, research, discipline and consistency at work.
“Ndipo ifike hapo, wewe pia lazima upige kazi. Mimi hata saa hizi naweza nika-make hizo doh kwa sababu there’s something I cracked about radio. Radio just needs consistency, research and being there. It doesn’t need anything,” he stated.
When he was at Hot96, the lawmaker revealed that he and Jeff Koinange used to earn heavily because their breakfast show was loved by many to the extent that it was the best breakfast show in the country.
