Lang'ata Member of Parliament (MP) Phelix Odiwuor Khodhe aka Jalang'o has sparked controversy after announcing a new directive that will affect all events held in his constituency.
In a statement, the first-time MP said that all events held in Lang'ata will have to source 50% of their manpower from his constituency.
According to Jalas, any event organizer who fails to adhere to this new directive will be forced to look for an alternative venue out of Lang'ata.
The venues affected by the MP's announcement include Carnivore Grounds, Uhuru Gardens, and Nyayo Stadium.
"*New Guideline, If you are Hosting an event in Langata venues and you dont give our young people a chance to work at your event, that event will not happen! Carnivore, Uhuru Gardens, Nyayo Stadium, and any other venue in Langata! 50% of jobs must be from Langata Youths!," Jalas said.
Commenting on the Mpasho page Jalas added; "We are not asking for alot..Bouncers, ticketing, Cleanups, casual waiters, Stewarts,".
However, the new guidelines have elicited mixed reactions from Netizens with a section arguing that he overstepping as an MP.
