Renowned comedian Jalang'o revealed for the first time what he went through before being allowed to emcee at President Obama's event in Siaya.
Jalang'o revealed that he had a session with the U.S Secret Service where he was grilled and his phone monitored.
"Forget the rehearsals, the interview, meeting the secret service and everything... You don't just wake up and be the emcee for Obama," Jalang'o said in a live TV interview.
Kenyans have been reacting to the breathtaking revelations.
Here is a sample of what the residents of Garissa said:
"He is the immediate former president of the United States of America. You have to be vetted before meeting him," Suleiman Jage says.
"Security of the former president is key. Those meeting him have to be assessed first," Abusiman Yuno says.
"The clearance that shows that Jalang'o is a clean man. If he was not, he wouldn't be allowed to meet Obama," Yusuf Omar says.
"An illustration of just how careful we should be in what we do because it can be the difference between getting an opportunity and not getting it," Guyo Jamal says.
Jalang'o said that meeting Obama was the crowning moment of his career.
