On Monday, July 6, fans of popular radio host Felix Odiwuor, known as Jalang'o, were left disappointed after his much-anticipated debut on Morning Kiss failed to materialize.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Kamene Goro, the show's host, explained that the station was planning a formal re-introduction for Jalang'o, citing his stature as a reason for the elaborate introduction.
Although Kamene was not fully aware of the exact date of Jalang'o's debut, she assured fans that he would be joining the show soon and asked them to remain calm.
"We are planning a red carpet, we can also knit him a new green suit to introduce him to the show properly. We can't just let Jalang'o into the show without pomp. He will be coming on very soon. We are the only people who can get Jalang'o during Covid-19," stated Goro.

According to Kamene, the chemistry between her and Jalang'o would develop naturally, as the two were already friends.
"Chemistry is all about friendship and bond. He is a very good friend of mine and you will be shocked what we can accomplish together," she stated.
On Friday, July 3, Jalang'o had made a matter-of-fact admission that he would be joining Morning Kiss, stating, "Yes, I’m taking over your job. This job is mine and you are handing it over to me and I didn’t know that you are leaving, and I didn’t fire you. You left yourself and I have been given an offer to take over your spot….Guys Monday next week, Kamene and Jalas."
After the revelation, a new hashtag #KamenenaJalas hit the social media, and an account was born out of it that has since garnered over 11,000 followers.
