Jalang’o opens up about being addicted to drugs and alcohol

Felix Odiwuor, also known as Jalang’o, a member of parliament, made a stirring speech to the youth of the Lang’ata constituency in which he underlined the value of escaping the grip of drug addiction.

Speaking alongside Rachel Shebesh, the Nairobi Women Representative, Jalang’o praised Shebesh’s dedication to the welfare of young men and urged them to take a transformative path.

Jalang’o described his own path from the depths of drug and alcohol addiction to rising to prominence in Kenyan culture.

“Today, I want to express my gratitude to our esteemed leader, Mama Shebesh, for her unwavering support of young men. In the past, the spotlight predominantly shone on women’s concerns, but she has extended her nurturing hand to our nation’s young men. I implore you, young men, to seek a path free from the clutches of drugs.”

Jalang’o’s moving statement served as a motivational rallying cry as well as a monument to his own personal growth.

“I was once ensnared by the grip of drugs and alcohol.

But through the grace of God and my determination to change, I stand before you today as living proof of what is possible. To attain your aspirations, you must initiate change within yourselves.”

Jalang’o emphasized the wide-ranging effects of quitting addiction with confidence in his voice.

“Transformation is the key to unlocking your potential. It is the gateway to realizing your dreams and ambitions. By altering your course, you pave the way for a brighter future, one filled with purpose and achievement.”

The Lang’ata MP’s message went beyond personal success to cover interpersonal relationships as well.

“True change not only enriches your life but also affects those around you. It molds you into a suitable partner, a responsible individual capable of building a family. Aspire to be the kind of man who can provide and protect, a man deserving of a loving wife and children.”
