According to the presenter, he tried negotiating terms of employment with the human resource manager but things did not work out in his favour.

The company also reduced salaries almost half of the remaining journalist which did not go well with Jalas.


The comedian wished his fans and ex-colleagues all the best and professed his love for them.


Jalang'o says he has already received six Radio job offers in less than a day following his exit from Milele FM. However, he says, will take time to think about the offers as he works hard to push his company Arena Media and his fast-growing YouTube channel towards success.



He hosted the Milele Breakfast Show with Alex Mwakideu. Mediamax owned station is in a bid to fire at least 100-200 employees.



Jalang'o also left his job just weeks after he was entangled in a boys club scandal where they used and dumped women then share their escapades in a WhatsApp group.
