He was responding to reports that he would be receiving around Sh750,000 per month to host alongside Kamene Goro on the show.

"I did not say anything, but what I will say is, it is somewhere between ...but what I want to say is, what I'm being paid is good let's say it is 6 times what I was being paid previously," he explained.

Before joining Kiss FM, Oga hosted a drive show alongside musician Anto Neosoul at Nation FM

The comedian also pledged loyalty to Kiss FM, maintaining that he would not leave even if he was offered double his current salary.

" You know there are people who are now working and being paid a lot of money, but the environment they are working in is not conducive, friendly, or a happy environment. I would choose a happy environment with less money other than an environment where you are pressed, and you are not happy. But nowadays, I chose peace."
