Claims of poor pay has bedeviled kenya’s most watched comedy show – Churchill Show since early last year when a handful of comedians openly protested.<\/p>\n

Fresh allegations of poor pay surfaced once again in April 2017 when Emmanuel Makori Nyambane alias Ayeiya Poa Poa passed on.<\/p>\n

Former Churchill Show comedian Rapcha the Sayanist was quick fire salvos at Daniel Ndambuki accusing him of underpaying comedians, he claimed that Ayeiya Poa Poa had died a poor man thanks to Churchill.<\/p>\n

Well, MC Jessy has finally addressed the persistent allegation that just won’t fade away; speaking to Word Is, Jessy categorically stated that Churchill Show offers comedian far more value than the pay package that portried them in bad light.<\/p>\n

“They come while they are fresh and some don\u2019t even have the money. Let\u2019s take an example of MCA Tricky. He came the way he was and he is great today. Comedian YY came the same way and he is good right now. Eddie Butita came from Kariobangi and now he is doing international shows. If you are coming there to look for money you will fail, but if you are coming for destiny, you will succeed. The money aspect can\u2019t even be discussed because you can\u2019t even quantify to give a value for them when it comes to money, but their worth is determined by how they live their life, not how much they earn,” MC Jessy said.<\/p>\n

He also responded to Rapcha the Sayanist’s attack on Churchill;<\/p>\n

“Alikuanga Churchill zamani, so hayuko\u2026 That was his opinion, but you need to look at the results, kwa sababu mti unajulikana na matunda yake. I went to Churchill Show, see my life now. It is the same way for MCA Tricky, David the Student, Professor Hamo, Chipukeezy, Eric Omondi and the rest who joined the show.”<\/p>\n
