Inspector Mwala, also known as Davis Hezron Mwabili, has become the target of online ridicule from Kenyans. The popular actor, renowned for his long-standing role in the Inspector Mwala show and his previous stint as a Radio Citizen presenter, is widely recognized and has amassed a substantial following on his social media platforms.
Despite his influential status, Inspector Mwala faced criticism when he chose to showcase his rural roots by sharing a photo of himself outside a traditional thatched house, expressing his enjoyment of life in the village. The image sparked a swift reaction from Kenyans on Facebook, who hastily drew conclusions and urged the actor to construct a more substantial village mansion. Many felt that the humble setting seemed incongruent with the expectations of a celebrity of Mwala’s stature.
In response to the online backlash, Inspector Mwala lightheartedly commented, “Fb iko na maneno😂, ooh ujajenga, si lazima niwaonyeshe kila kitu,” implying that Facebook is full of chatter and that building a grand structure is not a prerequisite for sharing every aspect of his life. This exchange highlights the tendency of Kenyans to anticipate opulent residences from celebrities, assuming substantial wealth for all, and the actor’s nonchalant response reflects his choice to maintain privacy in certain aspects of his life.
