Jalang’o discusses the impact that entering politics has had on him.

Taking to the floor of the house on Thursday afternoon, he stated:

“I reject the Finance Bill 2024. Once it impacted the common mwanainchi, I had to make this choice. Most of you know that I am a friend of the President. I spoke to him, and he knows very well that this is my stand.”

Previously, Jalang’o had posted on social media: “Day 1 of the Finance Bill Debate, Keenly following the tabling of the bill with Hon. @peter_salasya. Voting will be next week Thursday, and we will be there!”

In another post, he wrote: “Afternoon session Day 1, Dr. and I dissecting the bill in detail. He says total rejection and not amendments. I am telling him let’s hear the amendments and debate first.”
