Steph Kapela: In USA I Used To Be Paid Ksh.1800 Per Hour, Kuosha Wazungu Wazee Nyash.

One of the most famous and celebrated kenyan musician and legendary in the music industry Steph Kapela decided to open up on his life in USA.

Speaking in an interview with Mwafreeka via the famous Iko nini show, Kapela said that he left Kenya to USA to search for greener pastures. He was full of hopes that was a life changing opportunity.
Kapela then decided to get a working permit through illegal ways, and after studying CNL for a month, he secured a work to take care of the old people.

Remember in USA the number of older people is higher compared to the youth. The aging population therefore need people to take care of them, hence securing the job of providing aid to this people is easy and somehow well paying.
The work is normally disgusting but has money. Kapela said that , he had a very difficult moment in taking care of the old. He had to wash them, clear their waste, and do everything for them.

Per hour, Steph Kapela used to earn, 12Dollars, that is about ksh.1800. which is a good amount of money , especially in Kenya. He did the work for sometime, and it was just hectic, but he had to do it because it was the only work he could have done with his work permit.

However he later decided to quit the job, and went on to look for another one. He stayed in USA for a while before coming back to Kenya to continue with his music career.
