‘I NEVER THOUGHT THAT ONE DAY SOMEBODY WILL QUESTION MY INTEGRITY AND HOW I MAKE MY MONEY’ JALANG’O EXPLAINS HIS SOURCES OF INCOME

Radio personality and businessman Jalang’o has opened up about his income streams days after being linked to a money laundering and fake currency syndicate.

Speaking during his morning show, Jalang’o said, “I never ever thought, that one day somebody will ever question my integrity and how I make my money and accuse me or write something that make me look like a fraud. On my father’s grave, I have never ever stolen from anyone neither have I ever gotten involved in fraudulent or unscrupulous deals. To me it has always been hustle and it has never changed, if it was that easy to make money then everybody would.

For the first 10 to 15 years I have never known how 7am looks like in the morning, unless I’m on holiday or weekend when I am not working. I have always known 4am as my wake up and come to Kiss Fm and it pays us so well. From there I run an agency, Arena Media with a team of almost 20 people. As we speak today I am brand ambassador of five top brands and an influencer to 1001. Per week I do three to four events which are paying well. Jalang’o TV is a different hustle racking up to 10 million views per month.”

He maintained that he has never stolen from anyone and wouldn’t want such a curse on his kids, “There are times I don’t even sleep, for the first time I had somebody question what I do. If you really follow me and know what I do even the person writing about me as a fraud knows that they are lying. Yesterday I posted a house and someone told me, ‘pesa ya wash wash inajenga?’ I can say every single door we knocked to build the house. You can accuse of anything else but not my integrity or what I do for a living. If it was easy I would not be here every single morning or go to the club talking to people and calling people to sit down for interviews. 

One thing you can never take from me is hard work, if there is any one person who can come out today and say that I have ever taken their money or ever been involved in a dubious deal come out and say. I swear not even one person. I can’t take someone’s money, I am a father and I can’t allow that kind of curse on my children. I would want anyone to shade a tear because I took their money. Don’t ever think there is a replacement for hard work. The Nairobi social scene is simple, you meet people you take photos and hangout.”
