He further added that he spends most of his time in Nairobi and not up country where he only visits once or twice in a month.
However, it has always been one of Jalang’o’s dream to lead and serve the people of Lang’ata.
“I am going to be the next MP of Langata. Youths change your votes. Come and vote for us to build a new Langata. I am campaigning for myself. I am very serious, I am the next MP of Langata. Mark this day.
“I don’t go for things I can’t get. And once I have I said it…. start getting used to your future MP,” he said.
