Milele FM Presenter and comedian Felix Oduwour known to many as Jalang'o on Friday, June 13, called President Uhuru Kenyatta on his Youtube show Bonga na Jalas.

The presenter, who was interviewing digital influencer Xtian Dela, was challenged by the latter, to call the president.

"Who do you want us to call?"Jalang'o asked.

"Call the president," Xtian replied.

Taking up the challenge, Jalang'o dialed the president' s number, put it on loudspeaker and asked his cameraperson to take a close-up of the phone.

Mouth-agape, the digital influencer asked Jalang'o if he was really calling the president to which the Milele FM presenter confidently replied, "but of course"

Unfortunately, the president did not pick up, which prompted Xtian to ask Jalang'o to call Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga instead.

The comedian laughed off the idea of calling the DP and stated that it was difficult to get a hold of Raila.

"I do not know why the president has not picked but he is a very close friend of mine but for us to call Baba, we have to go through a few people," Jalang'o indicated.

The comedian's friendship with the head of state stems from way back when Uhuru was the Minister of Finance.

In a radio interview on Hot 96, Jalang'o narrated of a time the president asked him to ride to town in his car from Nairobi's Upperhill to the Treasury Building.

The comedian was the MC at an event in Upperhill, Nairobi, where the president had been invited as chief guest.

 “He’s a very easy guy, he creates conversations out of everything. He was very concerned about everything that was happening, he asked questions," Jalang'o recalled.
