During his stint as an actor in Papa Shirandula, Felix Odiwuor, alias Jalang’o, got wind of Nyambane’s exit from Kiss 100 FM. And the management was looking for a potential replacement to co-host the morning show with Caroline Mutoko.
The basic requirement was a Bachelor’s Degree and Jalang’o didn’t have any. But on that fateful day, he showed up for the interview.
The applicants were asked to queue and anyone who had a degree was to step on one side. With full knowledge that he didn’t have one, Jalang’o stepped aside too. The others were requested to go back.

ODM leader Raila Odinga has crafted a new strategy that would reportedly offer stiff competition to other presidential aspirants in the upcoming 2022 general elections.
His allies said that he had resorted to forming a new coalition that would enable him to ascend to Presidency, pitting himself against Deputy President William Ruto and an expected coalition between party leaders Musalia Mudavadi (ANC), Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), Gideon Moi (KANU) and Moses Wetangula (Ford- Kenya).
Raila s new team comprises party leaders, Alfred Mutua (Maendeleo Chap Chap), Charity Ngilu (NARC), Kivutha Kibwana (Muungano Party), Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Mombasa Governor and ODM Deputy Party Leader Hassan Joho - who has also declared his interest in running for the top seat.

Mombasa Governor Hassan Jdismissed calls by Coast leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto to form a new political party in the region, saying it will flop.
In a statement sent to media houses on Sunday, ODM Deputy Party leader described those behind the move as political rejects and fraudulent leaders being used by Ruto to divide the region for his political gains.
“The people behind this push are selfish leaders and those rejected in the previous elections who have essentially sold their souls to Ruto and joined his campaign of fraud and lies that all sensible Kenyans know is doomed to fail,” read the statement.
