Revealed! How Eric Omondi robbed Jalang’o his only chance at Kiss FM

Turns out that Jalang’o started off his radio career at Kiss FM, back when he was still young and green with the likes of Caroline Mutoko before he got axed out by comedian Eric Omondi.

Narrating the sad story during his recent YouTube interview, Jalang’o revealed that Mutoko and Jeff Koinange molded him into who he has become today. With Alex Mwakideu holding him up for Swahili radio.

Unfortunately, as he was trying to hone his skills in the then-just established radio space in Kenya, Jalang’o lacking experience, was quickly ousted out by well crafted Eric Omondi who took his place at Kiss FM.

My first time at Kiss FM, I was still young and green in the field of radio. I felt I needed something different and when other people were brought in, I did not feel the vibe. They told me to join Radio Maisha instead but it had just been born. That is when Eric Omondi came in and took my slot at Kiss FM.

Unfortunately, for Eric, this did not last, exiting barely a week after he got hired

But it was just one week and he could not cope. He had other businesses to run.

Milele FM contract dispute

Divulging unknown details of his ugly saga at Milele FM that cost him his job, Jalang’o told Mwakideu:

I was jobless. I had nothing to do and I was having a push and pull with the HR at Mediamax. No radio job, nowhere to go, I had been fired! Then I got a call for a job [at Kiss FM] and I didn´t think twice.

Before admitting that Milele FM was one radio station they pulled from the grassroots to where it currently boasts as Kenya’s leading Swahili station but they never appreciated him enough.

We brought Milele FM from the grassroots up to where it is currently as Kenya’s no. 1 Swahili radio but when we talked to our bosses, they were not willing to pay as according to how we delivered. So I thought it’s time I left.
