Caleb Amisi details how he made his first million while in University
A Saboti member of parliament (MP) has come out to reveal that he made his first one million shillings while still a student at the University of Nairobi, Kabete Campus, back in 2009.
Speaking after a morning interview on a local radio station on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, the two-term MP stated that he was in his third year when he earned his first million. According to him, the money came after successfully delivering on a tender awarded by a non-governmental organisation.

“My first million I made when I was in my third year at the University of Nairobi Kabete campus in 2009, through a tender to an NGO,” he said.
His first job
He further shared that his first salary was Ksh3,000, which he earned working as an untrained teacher after completing his Form Four exams at a school in his village.
At the time, he said the amount was quite significant, as it could sustain him well. The school was within walking distance from his home, and he compared the value of the salary then to what would be approximately Ksh30,000 today.
“My first job was as an untrained teacher at Chabogere Girls Secondary School. Before I joined university, my first salary was Ksh3000 per month. i used to save a lot since the school was only 3 km from home; 3000 then in 2005 can be valued at Ksh30,000 now,“ he added.
He also took time to explain the meaning behind the phrase he frequently uses on social media, “Kenya needs a renaissance”, a phrase that usually appears at the end of his tweets and posts.
“Renaissance is a rebirth, a renewal of the European culture and transformation where people are moving from the traditional way of living to modern techniques. Now Kenyans need to move from the old systems to new ones,” he concluded.
His present political stance
This comes at a time when he has joined hands with like-minded young politicians, including Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Kabuchai MP Majimbo Kalasinga, Bumula MP Jack Wamboka from the Mulembe region, to liberate the community from what they term the yoke of National Assembly speaker Moses Wetangula and Musalia Mudavadi
