Radio Presenter Jalang'o has called out former Tahidi High Actor Omosh for claiming that he got less than Ksh 1 million from Kenyans. This is after Omosh asked for more help on a television interview just 4 months after doing the same.

Peter Kinuthia alias Omosh was a mainstay on Kenyans' television screens on Tuesday evenings as he featured on Tahidi High, a programme mimicking the lives of high school students.
On the show, Omosh featured as the cantankerous groundsman and he soon became a fan favourite.

After airing for 14 consecutive years, Tahidi High was cancelled in 2020 and Omosh soon found himself jobless with mounting bills.
A Kenyan media house interviewed the former television sensation on February 12th 2021 with Omosh breaking down as he explained his predicament. He was in debt and had arrears amounting to Ksh 150,000.
Kenyans on social media rallied around him with comedian and radio presenter Felix Odiwuor aka Jalang'o promising to raise Ksh 1 million.
Corporates swooped in with Zero Hero Properties Limited gifting Omosh with land in Malaa worth 500k.
With the actor now coming out to ask for more help, Jalang'o has rubbished claims made by Omosh that he received less than Ksh 1 million.
"Some people can never learn! I can assure that Omosh got more than Sh 1 million from my show," Jalang'o wrote. "Personally in cash he got more than 700k then the people who sent money directly to him!
Jalang'o went on to mention the corporate that is building Omosh a house on the land he received as a gift. He added that Nairobi politician Alinur Mohammed gave him food worth Ksh 60,000 and an extra Ksh 100,000 in cash.
Honourable Alinur had a similar reaction. " This is unbelievable!" He wrote. "Unfortunately, once I have sacrificed and helped you only to realize that you took my efforts for granted, I can never help you again."
