Comedian Felix Odiwuor, alias Jalang'o, has ended his close to two-year tenure at Milele FM, a decision he attributes to a contract dispute with the station's management.
According to Jalang'o, he and the station's bosses were unable to reach an agreement on his contract terms, leading to his departure.
"I was not at work today because we had not agreed on a lot of things and terms and even as we speak my HR had me on hold still discussing terms of employment…Unfortunately, we didn't agree," Jalang'o said in a statement.
Despite the acrimonious exit, Jalang'o expressed gratitude to his colleagues and fans who supported him during his time at Milele FM, where he hosted the popular show 'Milele Asubuhi' alongside Alex Mwakideu.
He joined Milele FM in 2018, having previously worked at Royal Media's Hot 96.
On his Facebook page, Jalang'o thanked his fans and colleagues, saying: "I want to thank: (1) the Mediamax management for the opportunity they gave me and I will forever be grateful, (2.) my brother @alex_mwakideu you know to my last blood I love you! Keep shining and being the best, (3.) all my colleagues at Mediamax both at Milele, K24, Kameme, Emoo, Maiyan, and Meru Fm…I'll forever love you, (4) my fans and every listener."
