Published on September 1, 2021, a recent exposee by blogger Edgar Obare has sparked a heated debate about the 'wash wash' money laundering business in Kenya.
Comedian Jalang'o, who has been vocal about his disdain for the practice, expressed surprise that anyone would question his integrity, stating that he works hard for his money.
Several Kenyan celebrities have since spoken out against the allegations, including Tanasha Donna, Prezzo, and Betty Kyallo.
Tanasha Donna took to her Instagram stories to address the rumors, stating, 'I work hard and very hard for my shit. Everything I own today I bought with my own hard-earned money and sweat! Don't involve my name in y'all BS. Some of y'all are Sickening! SICKENING!'
Prezzo, real name Jackson Ngechu Makini, commented on the issue with a cryptic message, saying, 'Fellow Kenyans, the only tea y'all should rely on is the tea from Kericho. Story za osha osha mwachieni huyo dish washer!'
Betty Kyallo, a former news anchor, responded to the allegations with a simple 'lol', leaving fans to speculate about her involvement in the 'wash wash' business.
Edgar Obare's Instagram account was temporarily deactivated due to the recent exposee, but he assured his fans that he was working to regain access to his account.
