Radio has for long been a crucial tool in keeping the community updated with news, current affairs and entertainment. Although the stations are many, the listenership highly depends on what a station can offer as well as the presenters.
The presenters are paid huge sums of money to keep us entertained and updated.
In this article, we take a look at some of the highest-paid radio presenters and what each takes home.
Maina Kageni
According to close sources, Kageni could reportedly be the highest-paid presenter. Kageni rakes between Ksh1.5 and Ksh1.8 million monthly.
The presenter hosts the breakfast show at Classic 105, together with his co-host Daniel Ndambuki (Churchill) who goes by the moniker Mwalimu King’ang’i.
How Kageni rose above ranks to be where he is a story you cannot miss. Surprisingly, he never started off as a presenter.
He began as a truck boy in the United Kingdom, before jetting back to Kenya. His radio journey started in Capital FM, then Nation FM, Kiss FM, and later Capital where he works to date.
Daniel Churchill Ndambuki aka Mwalimu King’ang’a
Serving as Maina Kageni’s co-host, the presenter who doubles up as a comedian rakes in Ksh1.2 million monthly.
