Jalango on Kiss FM: Popular morning radio presenter at Kiss FM has quit. He emotionally announced his departure on Wednesday February 9 after hosting his last show with his colleague Kamene Goro.
Today I mark the end of this amazing place. I want to say a few things to the boss and CEO of Radio Africa for always being a friend and opening doors for me even when things look really dark on my side,” he said. “Big shout-out to you (Kamene) that when they thought this would not work. It became the biggest morning show. We rose to the occasion. We have had our own fights and our good times but the past two years have been growing and inspiring each other and making sure that we leave each other better than we found each other.”
This comes barely months after he announced that he would leave his radio job to venture into politics. Mzee Jalas had said that he would leave his radio job in February 2022 in order to concentrate on his campaign for the Lang’ata parliamentary seat which he is seeking to capture.
In 2020, Jalang’o had said that his job at Kiss FM would be his last radio job. He revealed that he had plans to venture out on his own after starting his highly successful YouTube show known as Bonga na Jalas. “This is my final journey on radio because I have started my own things. I plan to have my media and I started Jalang’o TV on YouTube,” he said.
Jalas added that he received a call from Radio Maisha but chose to go to Kiss 100 because that is where his radio journey began and he was returning home to end it there.
On his bid for the Lang’ata MP’s seat, Jalang’o said that he was motivated by the need to fill in the gap between service provision and the common man’s needs. ”It is hard for a common mwananchi to bring that change we are all looking for but not for a politician. It is easy to bring that change if you are in politics and not out,” he said.

He explained that his main one will be to fight corruption. ”My slogan is ‘Utu wa Watu’, I am so humane and that is what people should understand. Once you are humane, you will not squander funds allocated for development. Corruption is what I want to deal with first.”
