Jalang’o: My 10-year-old son drives my convertible mercedes

Lang’ata Member of Parliament Felix Odiwour, popularly known as Jalang’o, has revealed that his 10-year-old son drives his convertible Mercedes.

Jalang’o made the revelation on Thursday, September 24, 2026, during an interview with Milele FM presenter Tony Mwirigi, where he spoke about his son, his cars, his career and some of the experiences that have shaped his life.

During the conversation, Jalang’o pointed out his son while discussing the convertible Mercedes.

“That’s my son if he’s driving,” Jalang’o said.

The interviewer acknowledged seeing the young boy, prompting Jalang’o to explain more about his son’s relationship with the vehicle.

Jalang’o revealed that he had been considering selling the car before his son asked him to keep it.

Son asked him not to sell the car

According to Jalang’o, his son became interested in the vehicle after learning that his father wanted to sell it.

“When he heard I wanted to sell it, he said, ‘Please don’t sell it. Give it to me,’” Jalang’o recalled.

The MP indicated that his son’s request influenced what he planned to do with the car.

The revelation offered a glimpse into the bond between Jalang’o and his son, with the youngster seemingly developing an early interest in driving and cars.

Jalang’o recalls his first car

Elsewhere in the interview, Jalang’o reflected on his journey with cars and recalled the first vehicle he owned.

He said his first car was a Toyota Starlet, which he acquired around 2008 or 2009 while working at Kiss FM.

Jalang’o credited former Kiss FM presenter Caroline Mutoko with helping him access a loan that enabled him to purchase the vehicle.

He recalled that he received a loan of Ksh300,000, taking Ksh250,000 to help him acquire the car.

The conversation also touched on Jalang’o’s experiences with alcohol and the entertainment industry.

Jalang’o said that despite drinking over the years, alcohol had never caused him to miss work.

“Not even one day,” he said when asked whether there had been a time alcohol made him fail to show up for work.

He, however, cautioned people against allowing alcohol to interfere with their careers, work or opportunities.
