In a recent interview with Tanzanian content channel Ayo TV, Jalang’o said that he was paid $20,000(sh 2000,000).
Obama had travelled to his ancestral village in 2018 to launch the Sauti Kuu Resource Centre founded by his sister Auma Obama.
At the time, Jalang'o wasn't thinking about the money he made but how starstruck he was.
He went blank for a minute while speaking to Obama and all he could utter was, "Yes, sir."
"So the frisking and everything happened and you are allowed into the venue. So Obama walks in and the best thing is I was in a room with him while I was being briefed."
