NTV Anchor Slams Jalang'o For Snubbing Interview Without Any Explanation 

Lang’ata Member of Parliament Phelix Odiwuor aka Jalang’o clashed with NTV after he failed to show up for an interview.

Journalist Salim Swale said directly on the air that the MP, who was previously a radio presenter and comedian, had also been given an invitation and he accepted but at the end of the day he pulled out without any explanation.

Swale said that Jalang’o had agreed to come to explain his plans to the people of Lang’ata but he could not keep that promise and refused to show up for the interview.

“Sasa mtazamaji kama kawaida kila siku ya Jumatatu huwa tunawaweka viongozi wetu hapa Kigondani kwa ajili ya kujibu maswali yako ambayo unatutumia moja kwa moja, maswali muhimu. Lakini kwa maskitiko makubwa mbunge mpya wa eneobunge la Lang’ata Phelix Odiwuor a.k.a Jalang’o Mwenyewe hakuweza kufika licha ya sisi kumwalika na licha ya yeye kudhibitisha kwamba angefika. Amekosa kufika bila hata kutoa udhuru wa kutofika. Hawa ndio vongozi ambao tumewachagua na tumewapa majukumu ambayo wamekwepa au wameshindwa kuja kuelezea bayana mbele yakow ewe mpenzi mtazamaji.

(Now, viewer, as usual every Monday we keep our leaders here in Kigondani to answer your questions that you send us directly, important questions. But with great sadness, the new member of parliament for Lang’ata constituency Phelix Odiwuor a.k.a Jalang’o Mwenwe could not come despite us inviting him and despite him confirming that he would come. He failed to arrive without even giving an excuse for not arriving. These are the leaders that we have chosen and we have given them the responsibilities that they have avoided or failed to explain in front of you, dear viewer),” Salim Swale said.

 

Jalang’o was elected for the very first time as a Member of Parliament in the 2022 election through the ODM party ticket.

He defeated former MP Nixon Korir who was defending his seat through the UDA party ticket.
