Published on September 6, 2019, Inspekta Mwala, born Dennis Mwambili, is one of the most talented actors around. He rose to fame when he appeared on Vitimbi Show back in the 90's and has since become a darling to many thanks to his funny jokes.
The father of two, who features in Citizen TV's Inspekta Mwala dramedy, left us in stitches whenever he graced the screen alongside the late Mzee Ojwang, Mama Kayai, Ngomongo, and others back in the day.
However, in a past interview with Hot 96, Mwala revealed that despite his success, it wasn't all rosy at the start of his acting career at KBC. He disclosed that he used to earn Sh150 per month, leaving his followers surprised.
He recalled, '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.'
Fortunately, his fortunes changed soon after, and he managed to appear in three shows the following month, earning him Sh450. He soon became almost indispensable, and his salary increased accordingly.
