Jalang’o’s Ex Employees Begs Him To Take Them Back After Stealing Money From Him

Phelix Odiwour, a former media personality who is now a politician and goes by the moniker Jalang’o, has disclosed that two of his former employees who allegedly stole from him before returning some of the cash are now struggling to get by in the village and are constantly pleading with him to pardon them and rehire them.

Jalang’o claimed that given how much he had relied on Eli Omundu Khumundu and Morrison Litiema, he was hurt by their conduct.

He stated that even though he is upset by their current situation—having been forced to return to the village due to a lack of work—he is torn about ever cooperating with them again due to their betrayal.

He however said that, when they returned part of the money they had stolen from him, he made the decision to forgive them, and also relieved them of their duties.

“It hurts me so much what they’re going through…if you can check their Instagram, it hurts me so much if I can show you the messages they write. I forgave them, nikawaambia they can go on with their lives…wanataka kurudi job tena, if it were you, would you bring them back? Mtu mwenye ulimtoa chini kwa maisha mpaka penye amefika,” he said in an interview posted on his YouTube channel.

“You know they betrayed one of the biggest trust we ever had together…it hurts me so much that walipotea. Unajua shetani aliingililia vijana wangu bana, and they stole a lot of money from me.”

Jalang’o, during the interview, also shared a message written by one of the two former employees – Eli – pleading with him to forgive him and accept him back.

Part of the message read: “Hallo sir, aki naomba msamaha sana na ninajutia makosa makubwa mkubwa wangu, nilidanganywa aki na sikuwa na hiyo nia ya wizi tumetoka mbali sana urafiki yetu na undugu usiishie hapo tafadhali sana nateseka Bungoma mheshimiwa naomba tu. Nisaidia tu mkubwa wagu sitawai rudi kosa kama io sir. Watoto adi sai ata shule hawajaingia, huku niliona kukaa Nairobi bila kazi ni ngumu ilibidi nirudi tu ushago tu sir…naomba unisamehe tu sir… “

… The newly elected Lang’ata MP continued by saying that the thieves could not have struck at a worse moment because he absolutely needed the money at the time to support his political activities.

He claimed that he had planned to utilize the money for a number of purchases that day, only to discover when he got to his car that it had been burglarized and the items were gone.

“These guys stole money from me at a time I need money the most. Unaeza imagine umepanga mkutano unataka kuenda kwa mkutano…wamama elfu moja wamekaa chini, umeshajipanga unakuja kwa gari unaangalia hivi, pesa ya mkutano ya kulipa hall, fare ya wamama, ya kuenda kununua chakula ya kuwapatia, yote imeibwa,” he said.

“Hakuna kitu hawakuwa nayo. When people have lifted you kutoka kwa umaskini hadi pahali umefika, do not betray that kind of friendship.”
